====== Carnitas Braised in Wit Beer ======

  * 2 - 2 1/2 lb boneless pork shoulder - cut into 1" pieces
  * 1 large onion - cut into quarters
  * 5 garlic cloves - minced
  * 2 bay leaves
  * 1 Tbsp cumin seeds
  * 1 Tbsp coriander seeds
  * 1 cinnamon stick
  * 1 ancho dried chile
  * 2 - 12oz. bottles Wit Beer

\\ 
  - Put the pork, onion, garlic, bay leaves, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, chili and some salt and pepper in a large pot or dutch oven with a lid. Add the beer and water if needed to cover.
  - Bring to boil and skim any foam that comes to the surface. Partly cover and adjust heat so the  mixture bubbles steadily. Cook until the meat is quite tender, about 1 hr. then cool.
  - Remove the bay leaves, spices and chili with a slotted spoon and discard. Break the meat into bite size pieces, return to the pan and cook uncovered until all the liquid has evaporated.
  - Can be served as pulled pork or put on tray under broiler and cooked until top crisp and served as carnitas.
