 Yeah, welcome back to the fire and water cooking channel. I'm Darren and today I'm gonna do something just a little bit different something. I haven't done before my son older son's wedding is coming up in a couple weeks and I've agreed to go ahead and do the rehearsal dinner have it at our house and We're gonna have about 35 or so people over and what I'm gonna do is make a taco bar a big taco bar and I'm gonna have a couple different meats and stuff for the tacos and all the other accompaniments. One of the things I've never made before For something like this is carnitas. So that's what I'm gonna do today I'm gonna run a test recipe for our lunch tomorrow So in a couple weeks when I have to do it for the wedding I got the recipe down. So what I'm gonna take this is about an eight pound pork butt. It's a bone in I'm gonna use that for our carnitas. I'm gonna use a little bit of this mojo marinade We're gonna sous vide this in the and with the marinade in the In our cooler outside and I'm gonna do it for 24 hours at 165 So I'm gonna cook it a little hotter because we do want this pull apart for tacos Like I said sous vide for 24 hours at 165 Then we're gonna pull it out and then we're gonna crisp it up I'm gonna do we serve actually I'm gonna mix up my marinade first and I'm gonna put it in this bowl And what I'm gonna do is get that all mixed up and then when I cut this Pork up. I'm gonna throw that in the bowl and then mix it up with the pork So I'm gonna go ahead and dump. I got about two tablespoons of the dehydrated onions About a tablespoon each of black pepper and kosher salt And about four tablespoons of that taco seasoning and then about another tablespoon of the garlic powder So there are all my dry ingredients now. I'm gonna put about I'm gonna eyeball this But I'm gonna put about a half a cup of this mojo marinade in there And this has got a lot of that seasoning in it already so It's a little over a half a cup It'll be fine. Then I'm gonna put my Lime and lemon in there Squeeze it into my hand so I can get the seeds and I'm gonna take my whisk and just kind of whisk All these ingredients together And if it seems a little too dry or too wet you can If it's a little too dry you can add a little bit more of the mojo marinade or you can add a little bit of Addressing or something to it a little oil. I'm going to add just a little bit more of this mojo marinade That all mix together this pork butt and I'm just going to cut it not too small pieces just Good-sized hunks like this Because what we want to do we want it to you know, like I said the more surface area We have that this marinade is going to cover The better so you know, I would just cut it into hand fist-sized chunks Make sure you keep all that fat on there That fat's going to help this Taste really all right guys. I got it all chopped up and put in them bowl with the marinade and all I'm going to do is just Make sure I mix this all up real well that the marinade coats the Pork really good. We're gonna all we're going to do is throw all this into the sous vide bag. Anyway So we can also once we get it in the bag make sure it's um All mixed together real well is also so I'm going to go ahead and mix this up really good And then we're going to throw it in the sous vide bag since I got a lot of pork I'm going to use one of my expandable bags and what I've done is I fold it over the outside edge here Just so that I can have a clean edge when I go to vacuum seal it So I'm just going to go ahead and toss these pork pieces Right into the bag Just getting you that little bit of that So I got it all in the bag now And I'm going to go ahead and fold this And we're going to seal it in the vacuum sealer And since we got some moisture in there I'm going to use the moist setting, but I actually cut the bag a little longer than it's necessary So that um We have some more space For that moisture Like always When I use these big thick bags and just about any time I double seal The vacuum sealer bags just to make sure especially when we're doing hotter longer cooks like this And especially since we're using the plated bags. So And I said I just popped the top Hit the seal bar one more time And then We're going to get ready to throw these in the sous vide An hour and 24 hours the pork has done cooking in the sous vide And there's lots of lots and lots of fat and juice in there And I'm going to go ahead and get it out of the bag But I'm going to throw it in this pan broken down Then I'm going to add just a little bit more of the Taco seasoning and a little bit of the lemon pepper kind of keep that Keep that tropical type taste to it. So I'm going to go ahead and get this out of the bag Put it in this pan. All right. All what I've done is I've got my grill My pellet grill cranked up all the way About 10 50 minutes ago. So it's getting close to uh maxing out the temp. So I've got my pork I'll put in here in this container and like I said, I'm going to go ahead And just add just a little bit more of the taco seasoning Not a whole ton because it's already seasoned pretty good And then I'm going to hit it with a little lemon pepper Not a ton like I said Just give a little bit more of that lemony taste And then I'm going to go ahead and use my hands to just mix it all up Break it all down. Then we're going to throw it on the grill and let it get crisped up at a real high temperature All right guys, it is done It's got just a little bit of color to it there heated it up pretty good Got a nice crispy crust on top and I'm going to go ahead Just make me a little bite here Kind of mix it up. It's nice and hot and I make it like I was going to make my own taco here. There we go Show it. It's just like a nice little carnitas taco. I'm going to go ahead and Fold it up take a bite Still nice and hot and I can taste that mojo And the taco seasoning just a hint not too strong Cooking it sous vide makes it really easy. I can just throw it in keep it in there for 24 hours Not have to worry about it. Just let it cook out there in the cooler Throw it on the grill for 15 20 minutes. Get a nice color and it turns out perfect So give it a try guys. Make sure you like this video subscribe Follow us on facebook and instagram. Thanks again. I'll see you on the next video
