  1. Hi there – I came from Tastespotting. This is going to sound goofy, but I think our blogs are friends! If you look at mine you’ll see why (similar colors, for one…)

    anyway, I love that onion/cilantro thing on carnitas. I started making it after eating it at taquerias (and after trying to make a pico de gallo and realizing I had no tomatoes).

    cheers, Katie

  2. This looks great. Do you think it would work if I cooked the onions a bit to get them a bit more caramelized then added the cilantro and lime?

    1. Lincoln,

      You can certainly try it and see how it turns out. I would cool down the onions completely before mixing them with the cilantro.

      I will say, the reason this relish is so delicious is the fresh crunch of the onions. The lime juice mellows their flavor and it’s really wonderful raw & fresh.
