Carnitas means 'little meats' and is traditionally fried then braised. This recipe is made much easier using the slow cooker but the results are just as tasty. This makes a great filling for tamales, enchiladas, tacos and burritos. This filling is also great combined with your favorite barbecue sauce and served on buns.
Let the aroma of this savory soup waft through your home while you get ready for the holidays. 'I only have to slice some bread and prepare a salad to have dinner ready,' writes Paula Zsiray of Logan Utah. 'For a thicker soup, mash half of the garbanzo beans before adding them to the slow cooker.'

I used to live in Sicily, and these stuffed rice balls were a favorite of mine! 'Arancini' means 'Little Oranges' in Italian, named so because the little breaded rice balls resemble small oranges so much.
I make this hearty soup using the ham bone from our Easter spiral ham. It makes a huge pot of soup, so invite some friends or just freeze several portions for later use.
