A lovely americanization of the original Mexican recipe. Adding the oranges is very much like braising pork Cuban-style for the traditional cubano sandwich. The milk acts as a tenderizer, a secret I learned while growing up watching dad make his carnitas which, by the way, were always exceptionally tender. This Mexican abuelita-inspired slow-cooker carnitas recipe is easy enough for a weeknight. However, it's delicious and exotic enough to impress for a dinner party.
