Description

Ingredients

• 1 (4 to 5 pound) boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt roast), trimmed of as much fat as possible
• 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 bay leaf
• Easy Cuban-Style Black Beans
• 1-1/2 cups long grain white rice
• 3 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth

Directions

• In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, cumin, oregano, salt, and fresh ground black pepper and stir to create a paste. Rub the paste all over the trimmed pork shoulder. Heat the remaining oil in a large heavy skillet or Dutch oven over MEDIUM-HIGH heat. Sear the pork until it forms a browned crust on both sides. Transfer the pork roast to your slow cooker.
• Pour the chicken broth, orange, and lime juice over the pork roast in the slow cooker. Sprinkle with the minced garlic and tuck a bay leaf down into the liquid. Cover and dook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or until you can easily shred the meat with a fork. Remove and discard the bay leaf and shred the meat into the cooking juices.
• Meanwhile, prepare Easy Cuban-Style Black Beans.
• Prepare rice according to package directions, using chicken or vegetable broth in place of water.
• Serve shredded pork with Easy Cuban-Style Black Beans and rice.
