1 large onions, quartered
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon coriander
2 teaspoons oregano, dried

2 bay leaves

to taste salt

Directions:
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.
