Steps:
- For the pork butt, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Melt the lard in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Cut the pork butt into 2-inch cubes. Add the pork to the pot and allow the meat to slowly brown. Season the pork with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Peel and quarter the yellow onion. Add the onion and garlic to the pot with the pork.
- Combine the cinnamon, turmeric, chile powder and crushed coriander and set aside. Continue to allow the pork to brown and caramelize.
- While the pork is browning, start the tomatillo salsa by heating a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan. Add the halved tomatillos, the outer strips of the jalapeños, halved onions and garlic, and cook until tender.
- Add the spices to the browned pork. Check the ingredients for the tomatillo salsa, the tomatillos and chiles will cook faster than the onion, so you can remove them to a bowl if necessary. Add ¼ cup (60ml) water to the pan to finish cooking the onions. Remove onions when softened. Cover the bowl with the cooked salsa ingredients.
- For the coleslaw, slice both cabbages and put in a large bowl. Add the juice of two limes, mirin, salt and fresh ginger, and toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit, tossing every 30 minutes, until the cabbage is slightly cooked by the seasonings.*Browning the pork will take about 20 to 25 minutes. Once the pork is sufficiently browned, add 1 to 2 cups of water to the pot, bring the water to a simmer, transfer the pot to the oven (preheated to 375 degrees F) and bake until the pork is fork tender about 1.5 hours, checking every 15 minutes.
- To finish the salsa, transfer the tomatillo mixture to a blender and puree until chunky, adding 1 tablespoon (15ml) water at a time, if necessary. Season with salt and pepper. The salsa can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Check the pork, and continue roasting uncovered to finish the caramelization process. Remove the pork butt from the oven and flake into large chunks with a fork. Make tacos with the pork in warm corn tortillas, garnished with the coleslaw, salsa, sour cream and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:
- For the pork: Sprinkle the pork with the salt and pepper. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a 5-quart saucepan. Cook the pork until brown, about 10 minutes. Add 3 cups water, the chicken broth, orange juice, cumin, chiles, garlic and onion. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the pork is very tender, for 2 hours. Shred the pork into small pieces, using 2 forks. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the salsa: Cut the ends off the oranges and grapefruits, place cut-side down on the counter, and cut away the peel. Using a paring knife, cut along the membrane on both sides of each segment. Coarsely chop the fruit segments. Squeeze the juice from the membranes and reserve. Whisk together 2 tablespoons of the reserved citrus juice, oil, honey, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Add the fruit segments and toss until coated.
- To serve: Warm the tortillas by holding them over a burner for 30 seconds on each side or place in a dry skillet and heat over medium heat until warmed through. Place 1/4 cup of shredded cabbage in the center of each tortilla and place the pork on top. Spoon the salsa over the meat and serve.

"PLASTERED" PORK TACOS WITH APPLE-JALAPENO SALSA
I was in the mood for some pork tacos, but I was looking for a bit of a change of pace from the normal carnitas-style I would usually make, which led to this wild and crazy experiment. The "plaster" coating traps all the moisture and flavor of the pork in while it bakes, creating the best pork taco I've had in a while.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Season pork all over with rosemary and freshly ground black pepper.
- Stir flour, salt, egg white, and water together in a large bowl until very smooth. Adjust with more flour it's too runny. Add pork shoulder and coat thoroughly.
- Spread a few spoons of excess "plaster" into a baking dish or pan. Add, fat-side up. Use a spoon to re-apply plaster to any spots that need it, as well as to the top.
- Roast in the center of the preheated oven until the surface is dry and hard and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 185 degrees F (85 degrees C), about 3 1/2 hours.
- Let cool for 15 minutes to 1 hour. Break pork up into big chunks and transfer to plate. Add some of the pan juices that accumulated at the bottom of the pan. Cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
- Combine apple, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, salt, lime juice, and cayenne in a bowl for salsa.
- Slice chilled pork into strips and then cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
- Heat a dry, nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Brown pork in the pan, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve pork on warm tortillas with the salsa and lime wedges.

- Score fat cap on pork shoulder in a 1 1/2-inch diamond pattern, cutting just until tip of the knife reaches meat. Flip pork shoulder over; cut along bone (about 3 inches deep) to open up meat. Rub pork shoulder all over with 3 tablespoons salt. Place on a rimmed baking sheet, and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 8 to 24 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375°F with oven rack in lower third of oven. Place pork shoulder, fat cap side up, in a large ovenproof Dutch oven. Add bay leaves and 6 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high. Cover and transfer Dutch oven to preheated oven. Roast until meat is fork-tender, 3 hours to 3 hours and 30 minutes, flipping pork shoulder after 2 hours. Let cool, covered, at room temperature 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, increase oven temperature to broil with oven rack in middle of oven. Place onion, tomatoes (cut sides down), and garlic on a lightly greased (with lard) rimmed baking sheet. Broil until onion and tomatoes are lightly charred and garlic is softened, 8 to 10 minutes for garlic and 10 to 14 minutes for tomatoes and onion. Set aside until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Peel garlic cloves. Reduce oven temperature to 250°F.
- While tomato mixture broils, heat all dried chiles in a dry large cast-iron skillet over medium. Cook, turning occasionally, until chiles are fragrant and darkened in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer chiles to a small saucepan; add remaining 3 cups water, and bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, until chiles are softened, about 10 minutes. Drain, reserving chile cooking liquid.
