Low-Fat Carnitas - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 lbs 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 oregano, dried
    4 chipotle chiles, canned or dry
    2 bay leaves
    to taste water
    to taste salt
Preparation
    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.
    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.
