These carnitas are quick (for carnitas anyway!) and easy to make. I added a spicy chili sauce to mine for an unexpected twist on the classic flavor, but you could modify it to include any sauce/flavor you prefer.
For the carnitas:
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Combine all ingredients in a Dutch oven. Add water until it almost covers the top of the meat. Bring to a boil then remove from heat, cover, and place in the oven.
Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until pork is cooked through and tender.
Raise oven temperature to 450ºF and bake, uncovered, for another 30 minutes.
Remove from oven, and shred.
For the spicy chili sauce:
Place chilis in a small sauce pan with the water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer, allowing to cook for about half an hour. Let the mixture cool a bit then remove stems, cut into smaller pieces, and blend into a thick sauce.
In a frying pan, add guajillo chili paste, tomato paste, and carnitas stock. Reduce on high heat until thick.
Add carnitas and reduce further until sauce becomes like a coating on the carnitas (about 5 minutes).
Serve carnitas with the sauce.
