Equipment
Method
- Start by cutting the pork shoulder into large chunks.
- In a large bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, cumin, and oregano. Rub this mixture all over the pork chunks.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the seared pork into the slow cooker.
- Add the quartered onion, smashed garlic, orange juice, lime juice, and chicken broth to the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat is fork-tender.
- Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
- For an extra layer of flavor, spread the shredded pork on a baking sheet and broil for 5-7 minutes until crispy.
Notes
Serve the carnitas in tacos, burritos, or on top of salads for best enjoyment.
