Carnitas

1. 1. Place pork, broth, onion, coriander, cumin, oregano, chilies if using, and bay leaves in a 5- to 6-quart pan. Add enough water to just cover the meat.
2. Cover the pan and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until meat pulls apart easily with a fork (3 to 4 hours).
3. 2. Lift our meat (reserve broth for other uses, if desired).
4. Discard fat. Place pork in a large roasting pan and bake, uncovered, in a 450° oven until sizzling and browned (about 20 minutes).
5. Pull off chunks of meat and shred with 2 forks, discarding fat.
