Ingredients
- 3 lb boneless pork shoulder blade roast (lean, all fat removed)
- 4-5 cloves garlic (crushed)
- 1 tbsp coarse salt
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tbsp cumin
- ¼ tsp crushed black pepper
- 3 oranges (juice of (½ cup))
- 2 limes (juice of)
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, cut slits into the pork and stuff holes with half of the crushed garlic.
- Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over pork.
- Place in the ceramic part of the crock pot, cover and refrigerate, turning pork occasionally so the marinade covers all of pork.
- The next day, remove the crock pot and cook on low, 8 hours.
- After 8 hours, remove pork and shred using two forks.
- Remove liquid from crock pot and add pork back to crock.
- Add about 1 cup of the liquid back and adjust salt, pepper and cumin (you will probably need to add more).
- Let it cook another 15-30 minutes.
