Slow Cooker Carnitas
** Recipe from A Year of Slow Cooking **
* 2 pounds pork shoulder (could use chuck roast)
* 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (about 1 large orange)
* 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1 large lime)
* 7 cloves garlic (whole intact)
* 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
* 1 tablespoon cumin
* 1/2 cup beef broth (GF if desired)
* corn tortillas
* desired toppings: i.e. sour cream, salsa, sliced avocado, etc.
Use a 6 quart slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine salt & cumin. Rub mixture all over pork, then place into slow cooker. Add whole garlic cloves. Squeeze on citrus, and pour beef broth evenly over top. Cook on low for 8-10 hrs, or until the pork shreds quite easily with a fork. If your meat is still fully intact after 8 hrs, remove and cut into chunks, then return to crock & flip to high for about an hour or two. Shred meat fully and serve on warmed corn tortillas with desired toppings.
