Ingredients

  • 3 lb(s) Boneless Pork Shoulder Roast
  • 2 Tbsp Lime Juice
  • 1 cup Orange Juice
  • 4 clove Garlic (skins removed and crushed)
  • 1 Tbsp Cumin
  • .5 Tbsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • 1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil

Directions

  1. Take a sharp knife and poke about 12 evenly spaced holes all the way around the outside of the roast. Stuff half of the crushed garlic into these holes. Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, add the pork and brown on all sides. Once browned, put in a slow cooker.
  2. Combine the remaining ingredients in a blender and blend for a few seconds until evenly combined. Pour the liquid mixture over the pork, and then turn the slow cooker on low and let cook for 8 hours.
  3. After 8 hours, remove the pork and shred using two forks. Remove the liquid from the slow cooker and strain out any solids. Add the shredded pork back into the slow cooker, then pour in 1 cup of liquid. Mix together and keep warm. Serve the pork as desired. Enjoy!
