Ranchero Pork With Lime Marinated Onions Food

RANCHERO PORK WITH LIME-MARINATED ONIONS

Steps:

• Mix cooking sauce and chiles in a 4-qt or larger slow-cooker. Add pork; spoon sauce over top. Cover and cook on low 8 to 10 hours or until pork is very tender.
• At least 20 minutes before serving, toss onion slices with lime juice in a medium bowl. Let stand, tossing once or twice until slightly wilted.
• Remove pork to a cutting board. Stir cilantro into mixture in slow-cooker. Break pork into bite-size chunks with a wooden spoon and return to cooker; stir to mix.
• To serve: Spoon pork mixture on warmed tortillas, top with marinated onions, fold and eat.

GARLIC-LIME PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix salt, Italian seasoning, black pepper, chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder together in a bowl. Sprinkle spice mixture generously on both sides of pork chops.
• Heat butter and olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook pork until no longer pink in the center and golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer pork chops to a serving plate, reserving juices in the skillet.
• Add lime juice and garlic powder to the same skillet and mix into leftover juices. Stir to combine and pour over the pork chops.

CITRUS-BRAISED PORK

Steps:

• Mix orange juice, onion, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, brown sugar, salt, oregano, cumin, lime zest, pepper, and bay leaves in a heavy Dutch oven. Add pork shoulder; turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, 4 hours to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Remove Dutch oven from the refrigerator and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
• Bake pork in the preheated oven until heated through, about 1 1/2 hours. Flip pork carefully. Replace foil and bake for 1 hour more. Remove aluminum foil. Continue baking uncovered, turning once halfway through, until pork falls apart and marinade is reduced, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Remove pork from oven and let rest for 20 minutes. Shred pork in the Dutch oven using 2 forks; mix shredded pork with the reduced marinade. Discard bay leaves.

LEMON-LIME COUNTRY STYLE PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Combine ingrediets for your marinade and pour over meat or veggies. Refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
• Heat small saucepan over medium. Add olive oil, garlic, and chili powder. Saute for about one minute. Add remaining ingrediets and combine. Simmer until your desired consistancy is reached.
• It is up to you how you bring the marinated ingredients and BBQ sauce together. You can use the grill, oven, or stove-top. I personally like to brown my country ribs on all sides then add the finished BBQ sauce to the ribs. I simmer with a lid on until the ribs are done.
• Enjoy!
