Arabs conquered the land during the 8th and 9th centuries, followed by the Oghuz Turks, Kimak and Kipchak, and Huns and Saka peoples. Mongols, led by Genghis Khan, invaded in 1219, and Kazakhstan subsequently fell under a series of Mongolian leaders.
Carnitas Torta. A Torta is a Mexican sandwich and is a delicious combination of meat, beans, and vegetables. Our version has pork, beans, and veggies between our S.Rosen's French Rolls for a tasty and satisfying sandwich.
This time around, and heck, for the remainder of the week, it is going to be packed full of carnitas, but to kick off the week, it starts with a really awesome torta. Ingredients for the Carnitas: 5 lb pork shoulder, trim any exterior fat, cut into large chunks. 20 dried chili de arbol peppers, seeds removed.
