Damn that looks so good. This will be my next cooking project

I wanna try this recipe! Would I be able to freeze the meat after for leftovers or would that just ruin the dish??

I'm carnitas and these aren't Mexican

do you cook it covered or uncovered? i cooked it covered and it lost no liqued and wasnt browned after 2.5 hours of simmering and the fat wasnt rendered

Yes queen 😍

partay lol

Okay okay now I'm upset you know full well this is not the way they making in Mexico this is a water down American nonsense. Everyone knows that carnitas a cooked in lard. That is the whole point and that's what makes them different they're not braised in their own fat okay and I'm not a hater I just hate when people don't do it the authentic way and you have the nerve to call yourself bone appetit..

He likes them on the thicker side ?

Nice recipe, but something I don’t like about this guy is that he’s a bit of an elitist. He down talks ingredients in almost every video. Just because you don’t like store bought tortillas doesn’t mean they’re crap to everyone 🤷🏽‍♂️. I wouldn’t even bring this up if hadn’t done this in almost every video

I wanna be Rick when I grow up

Que rico! 👏🏼🇲🇽

If u were to explain what carnitas are before u start to cook... Then u don't have to explain the fat

Except they are related to the tomato....

I have a crush on him!

So what's the benefit to slow cooking the meat first and then browning it? I always thought you brown the meat first and then let it slow cook? Is that just something you do for recipes where the meat needs to hold it's shape?

I just made this for my friends today and they all loved it!! Thank you so much for bringing home a taste of Mexico here in the U.K! I switched out the pico for mango habanero just for some more spice. It was messy but so worth it!!

What a dope apron!!!!!

So authentic I can't wait to make my momma and dad proud with this recipe Thank you!

Make head carnitas these are a delicia here in Mexico.

* Gordon Ramsay has stabed himself *

Why does he have blue nails

Better channel than Munchies

i am drooling, so professional and i love seeing people that love what they do and really know everything about it

Gorgeous Andy making a cameo ❤

Far from authentic carnitas 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

ay yo Rick apron game strong than a mf

I know this is pedantic, but tomatillos are related to tomatoes as well as gooseberries/ground cherries. All nightshades.

nails are F I R E

What is it with the turbine in the bagground? I really like Rick, but is he too fancy to wear a mic?

2:51 what are those !!!???

Who is the camera-person? This video is so shaky.

My friends use coca cola or orange soda instead of stock

there's a urban myth that in michoacan they put some coca cola to caramelize the carnitas, kind of the "secret ingredient"

either speak with an accent or don’t.

I hate how it doesn't show how many dislikes a comment gets, I thought there was equality everywhere

Mi mamá dice que tu masa esta muy seca. :(

I love Rick! This looks amazing!

Porkplosion at 6:10

Rick is awesome! good addition to the video series.

Cool! But carnitas should be sticky and wet with fat, not crisp and fried

First the cookies now the Carne ?!?!? * says the rest with a full mouth**

Glad to see rick's arms are not full of bruises anymore

Delicious without a doubt!

Why can't you fry them in the same pot you used to confit them?

I feel like there are different BA test kitchen squads at different times...

Rick, what kind of Knife is that?

I love seeing authentic recipes here! Please make more!

just here stanning for the boom girl

Creepy nail polish, creepy apron... bon appetit has become very creepy. Keep your tortilla recipe man.

Wow, I blinked. I thought they shot to a woman with blue nail polish working the masa. Then back to him. But it WAS HIM.

rick is amazing and a freaking gift onto this earth

Authentic pronunciation, knowledgeable AF, painted nails, tomatillo salsa...you, sir, have my attention. :)

If that was carnitas, what is Chicharrones?

This guy is awesome, need more vids with him

I love the apron and I'm definitely using this recipe

Who is this fabulous person?

"We can't even talk, we are too busy stuffing our faces".. he says while talking

You can buy his apron print on Etsy and buy the pattern and make it yourself. The print is called Alexander Henry Super Lucha Libre

Please more of Rick's videos

Is it too much to ask for a video on nixtamilization of corn? It is very difficult to find fresh masa here in Brazil (and many places I'd imagine) so that would be a life saver ): help us @Bon Appetit

how much time do teh people in teh test kitchen expect a normal working class person to have in order to make stuff like this?! its bloody ridiculous! Where are the smart, fast, easy tasty recipes?!

Loving Rick

Am I the only Mexican who didn’t know you could eat tomatillo raw????

"i like them on the thicker side" hell yeah.

This was great. Way to go Rick!

This was a great episode!! really refreshing and a great change of pace.

More Rick please!!

I appreciate that he co-ordinated his shirt to match the color of his nails...or vice versa...it could be either

Gaby! I missed her!

Urghhh, the taco hunger is real.

Frying is not typical when making carnitas but daaaaaaaamn I'm tryin this tomorrow.

Rick AND Claire are back and I can't contain myself.

His nail polish is so nice!

These are not carnitas. They take way longer to cook than this. You have to cook them in lard and they dont come out fried like that. This is more like chicharron I guess

9:55 such a diverse bunch

fantastic nails!

Love this guy, hope he's on again!!

I thought I would see many homophobic comments about his nails but looks like we've progressed! Or maybe those idiots watch rednecks cooking on YouTube instead....

every single one of these videos i walk a way from, wanting to try and make the dishes.

Hi daddy

This pork has literally no seasoning whatsoever. Not even cumin??

Where did you get the prensa?

His nails are distracting me lol

How to get a job at BA as a male: 1. Be Gay 2. Be Brad

No words.

What a charismatic host. Looking forward to seeing more of Rick!

That apron!

Good video but he said tortilla tooooo many times. Sort of like Stewie saying coo wHip.

the frying sounds... NUT

Finally, a non-white person in front of the camera. The entire BA test kitchen is too overwhelmingly white and I wonder why that is.

Loved this

Why are HIS fingernails painted? He doesn’t SEEM like a tranny?

The carnitas look amazing. His apron is great. But all I could think about was the blue nail polish. Coming from a servsafe instructor POV nail polish drives me batty. Great presentation and recipe.

Nmms que ricoooo😍😍

His nail polish is just cringy

just a quick tip if you don't have a tortilla press, you can use two plates pressing with the bottoms to make your tortillas and it works just as well. It's what I have done in desperate times!

Love his nail polish

The worst kind of people.... People that use metal utensils in non-stick pans.

Ahhh I love Rick. Thank you so much for this recipe!

That sound brought tears to my eyes
