I’d like to reduce the amount of hands on time for this. Do you think you could prepare the pork in a slow cooker / crockpot? I have a pork tenderloin on hand that I’ll give this a try with. I’m also planning on using a clean pre-made salsa verde to help get this on the table even faster for my post-workout meal.

Okay, so I have made this before and it was so amazing, I’m coming back – this time I read your post more carefully – the part about learning French and Spanish. I would LOVE it if you took a look at the language learning platform I’m developing. It’s called Linguistadores and basically it’s a place where you maintain or improve your target language by making it a part of your daily life (rather than something to study). We do it by giving you a customized space of real, current news articles, music, and videos in that language. So instead of reading CNN, you’d read El País or Le Monde. Best part is that you can set your level and only get articles appropriate for you. (We also have cooking videos 😉 )

Anywho, I’m going to go immerse myself if your carnitas…I hope you’ll take a look at my Linguistadores 😉 (french: fr.linguistadores.com – spanish: es.linguistadores.com) Enjoy!

This is definitely a keeper. Made it last night and the boyfriend is crazy about this dish. We had some plantain rice leftovers and they were great the next morning as a side to eggs with extra of your tomatillos sauce. Thanks! You’re awesome.

I think a tilde is actually the squiggly like that goes over consonants in Spanish, like over the second n in niño. But who cares, I’m SO making this; it looks delicious!

Well, as far as spanish or any language all I can say is that I had great success with (well, still in the process but having great success) with Rosetta Stone. I am actually going to finish one (spanish) and start on another (french). This dish looks amazing!! I cannot wait to give it a try.. another one for the recipe books. Its a keeper!!

Mmmm, this looks like one big plate of serious deliciousness. And I love that you’re learning Spanish… I took eight years of it and I think “buenos dias” may be the only thing I’ve retained. I’m thinking about getting back into learning it, though… this post has helped inspire me! 🙂
