16 servings
  4 pounds pork loin, cut in very large pieces
  1 1/2 quarts chicken broth
  1 large onion, quartered
  1 tablespoon cumin
  1 tablespoon coriander
  2 teaspoons dry oregano
  4 chipotle chiles, canned or dry
  2 bay leaves
  water
  salt
  To a 7- to 8-quart pan, add pork, broth, onion, coriander, cumin,
 oregano, chilies in sauce,  sauce, and bay leaves. Add water to cover
 the pork. Cover the pan and bring to a boil on
  high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until meat pulls apart easily
 with a fork, 2 to 3  hours. Strain broth. Cover pork with enough broth
 to keep moist and use remaining broth  for Spiced Black Beans (see
 recipe below). To bake carnitas, pull pork large shreds and
 place in a shallow baking dish. Spoon some broth over to keep moist.
 Broil pork until slightly crisp (watching carefully), turn, moisten if
 necessary and broil again.
