This slow cooker carnitas recipe is easy to prep and makes a great filling for tacos, enchiladas, burritos and tamales alike.
Ingredients
- 1 x 3lb ButcherBox.ca Pork Shoulder Roast
- 2 cups ButcherBox.ca Organic Chicken Broth/Stock
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp crumbled dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 bay leaves
Method
- Mix salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, coriander, and cinnamon together in a bowl; coat pork generously with spice mixture.
- Place bay leaves in the bottom of a slow cooker and arrange pork on top. Pour chicken broth around the sides of pork, being careful not to rinse off spice mixture.
- Cover and cook on Low, turning after 5 hours, until pork pulls easily with a fork, about 10 hours in total.
- When the pork is tender, remove from the slow cooker; shred with two forks. Use cooking liquid as needed to moisten the meat.
