INGREDIENTS
6 oz Pork Shoulder (cooked, roasted)
1 cup shredded Green Cabbage
1 small Carrot, shredded
1/4 cup thinly sliced Red Onion
1 Lime (juiced)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Oregano
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Meanwhile, pat the pork shoulder dry and rub it with garlic powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the teaspoon of olive oil. Sear the seasoned pork on all sides until a crispy, golden crust forms.
Transfer the pork to a baking dish and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until fully cooked and tender. Once done, let it rest before shredding.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, and thinly sliced red onion. Drizzle with fresh lime juice and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Shred the pork into bite-sized pieces and gently fold it into the slaw, mixing well.
Serve immediately, enjoying the contrast between the crispy, seasoned pork and the refreshing, tangy slaw.
