TOTAL TIME: 8 HOURS 40 MINUTES
SERVING: 6 -10
INGREDIENTS:
1-2 lbs pork (shoulder / butt)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup orange juice - I prefer freshly squeezed oranges only
2 tablespoons lime juice (1 lime)
1 teaspoons liquid smoke
2 bay leaves (do not eat! throw them out after everything is cooked)
1 onion - chopped
Wet Spice Rub
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chili pwdr
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions -
Ensure the pork is taken out of the freezer, and defrosted.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over high heat in a large skillet. Sear pork on all sides until lightly browned (I like mine a little crunchier, so I go until a crispy brown). Transfer pork to cutting board and slice once cooled.
In a separate bowl whisk together all of the wet spice rub ingredients. Place pork in the bowl, and toss around until coated.
Add orange juice, lime juice, liquid smoke, onion and 2 bay leaves to slow cooker. Depecning upon when you're eating cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 hours
Just before you serve, shred the pork and mix around the flavors!
Serve warm in tortillas, on rice, with beans and cheese or with favorite toppings!
