I know, I didn't have all the ingredients so I should not be rating this recipe. But I had pork chunks that I did not know what to do with. Didn't have wine vinegar, so used the white vinegar I had. Only had one hour to marinate the chunks in all of the ingredients. When the pork was well browned I deglazed the pan with some Lambrusco wine and reduced the sauce.. Served the mixture over Dreamfield pasta because my wife and I are diabetic and it does not raise our blood sugar.<br/>Even though my wife is picky about food she said: "This is a good combination." I agree. We both enjoyed this recipe.<br/>Thank you Michelle for a tasty recipe. -
I've had Carne Frita in restaurants before but usually found them over cooked and dry. So I decided to try making it myself. The dish was easy to prepare and super easy to cook. It came out wonderful. Crispy inside while tender and juicy inside. I served it with arroz con gandules and a simple vinegar and oil salad. I also sprinkled white vinegar over the pork before serving to bring out even more flavor.

<P>I was born in Glendale, California but I currently reside in Athens, AL. The military brought me to Alabama in 1989 and I just never left! Although quite different from California, I have come to love the more laid back lifestyle the South has to offer. My husband, who is Puerto Rican, and I were married in May 2006. He is retired from the Army (24 years) and now works for TASC Inc. while I am a stay at home mom. this is a new lifestyle for me as I worked for 23 years before having a baby on Dec 20, 2008. She was born two months premature and while she was in the hospital I decided I wanted to be with her and so I stopped working. <BR><BR>My husband and I both love cooking (probably him moreso than I) in our spare time. We purchased a home in 2006, and I think the main reason we bought the home is because of the beautiful kitchen...which is where we spend most of our time. <BR><BR>We like to try new recipes and Recipezaar has made this easy for us. When we first met he moved to Alaska, and to bridge the distance we would cook (him in Alaska and me in Alabama) the exact same recipe from zaar while on the phone or web cam together. When we had more time we tried at least one new recipe a week. We are slowly but surely getting back to that tradition. Cooking together has become challenging with a 13 month old. One of us plays with her while the other cooking. <BR><BR>I also enjoy collecting cookbooks and now I am addicted to Food Network. I love Giada and Ina the most...My husband thinks Ina is too boring, but her dishes always sound so amazing. <BR><BR><BR><IMG src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg mce_src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg> <BR><IMG border=0 alt=Photobucket src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg mce_src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg></P>
