Method

  1. Gather and prep everything first: olive oil, garlic, yellow onion and set within reach of the stove.
  2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the scallions in a little butter until translucent.
  3. Turn the heat up, add the carnitas, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
  4. Fold in the red wine and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
  5. Pour in the white wine, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
  6. Taste and adjust, then finish with flaky sea salt right before serving.
  7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
