this morning in today food we are
celebrating Taco Tuesday with a
delicious spread and a bonus cocktail
but of course Carissa Stanton is known
as Brock your body to her more than
600,000 Instagram followers today she’s
here for you she’s out with her first
cookbook seriously so good simple
recipes for a balanced life Welcome to
today
morning congratulations thank you I’m so
excited to be here all right so today
let’s talk about what we’re making we’re
making a carnus taco bar so perfect for
taco Tuesday we’re going to start off we
have some pork shoulder here you could
use either pork shoulder pork butt I
find one of the two is usually on sale
so that’s usually what I go for it’s a
cheaper
exactly so shoulder we’re going to toss
it with these spices we have some salt
pepper chili powder paprika and then my
little secret ingredient I like to add a
little bit of cinnamon it really brings
out some warmth and it’s just a really
fun little addition so we’re going to
add this into our pork you cook it right
away or does it have to sit in that no
we’re going to add it right in and we’re
going to get it nice and brown on each
side into our spatula at home no I go
right in with the hands but we’re going
to keep it clean on here okay okay so
we’re going to add it in O there’s a
little oil in here what kind do you
prefer I use avocado oil you can use
anything with a high smoke point because
we’re going to want to get it nice and
seared develop some color and some
flavor so we’re going to add it in and
hear that nice little Sizzle and this is
when your house is going to start
smelling really amazing coming into the
kitchen what are you making what you
making this is what I make whenever I
have friends over I actually just got
engaged like 3 weeks
ago and then once you sear the pork
what’s next so we’re going to sear it
and then we’re going to move over here
and we’re once it’s all nice and brown
we’re going to make our brazing liquid
so if you want to add in some onion and
then put water in there of broth that is
water okay just enough to cover the pork
and then some garlic if you want to do
that cloves yep it’s going to really
melt down and get into the pork so you
don’t have to worry about even chopping
the onions F awesome so then we’re going
to add in some lime juice and some
orange juice and we’re going to let this
simmer uncovered for about 2 hours on on
stove top or in the oven on the stove
top on low you can also make this in a
slow cooker you’re just going to not use
the water and you’re going to cook it in
slow cooker for about 7 hours and let’s
build these we’re going to build our
tacos so we want to make sure that our
tortillas are nice and warm we actually
just pop these in the microwave we wrap
them in a warm paper towel that way they
don’t break you’re going to want to make
sure that they’re nice and warm and soft
so we have these here and we’re going to
assemble a nice little taco if you want
to make yours you can so this is what I
like to do I was going to say when my
fiance had his friends over this is what
I made them all for the first time to
really wow them and ESS them and
everyone loved it so it’s definitely a
Crower once it’s done simmering you can
serve it right away or I like a crispy
carnus so I put them out on the sheet
pan and let them get nice under the
broiler really quick before the little
drink you’ve got how get this quickly
yes we have a spicy Rosé Spritz so do
you like spice yeah okay so we’re going
to muddle the Jalapeno in the glass if
you like spice you can skip this part if
you don’t and then we’re just going to
add in some
Rosé and then we are going to top it
yeah is that good yeah I wish I had this
yesterday when it was
80° really refreshing but has a little
bite like it and a little sparkling
water pretty simple thank you so much
