The gravy mix packet that I have (mccormicks) states that it has 12 grams of carbs per packet, the main ingredient being enriched wheat flour... I've made this recipe in my pre-LC days, and it is WONDERFUL, I'm just cautioning people to be aware of their packet choices.
I made this in my crock pot and we could hardly chew it! (I used a chuck roast). So.... today I put it in a pan on the stove, covered it with water & the juices from the crock pot with more seasoning. It turned out very good. Next time I won't be using a crock pot.
Beef does not do as well in a crock pot but fatty pork does.
I rub the fresh ground cumen mixed with oil over the roast 1st, the whole process took 10 hours in my pot. You can check with a meat thermometer if in doubt. I just slice the meat thick after it cools then fry up in butter as needed. The cilantro is optional. True carnitas are seasoned then deep fried in lard they are yummy and very filling.
okay i tried this recipe first with the beef roast and it was awesome. i beilive i posted earlier on the recipe. second time i used this recipe,I USED A WHOLE CHICKEN! I USED THE DRY MIXES AND MIXED TOGETHER AND PUT A CHICKEN IN THE CROCKPOT AND THEN PUT THE SEASONINGS ON THE CHIKEN AND THEN I PUT 2 OR 3 CUPS OF DITE RITE COLA ON BOTTM OF CROCK POT AND I TOOK IT TO WORK AND EVERYONE LOVED IT!

Interesting. Sue must have been from the South. Never thought of adding Cola to a roast.
