INGREDIENTS
150 grams Pork Shoulder (Lean)
1 cup shredded Napa Cabbage (89g)
0.5 medium Carrot, shredded (30g)
0.5 cup Orange Segments (130g)
1 tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Fresh Cilantro
PREPARATION
Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks and season generously with salt, pepper, and ground cumin.
Place the seasoned pork in a slow cooker, searing in a hot pan with a dash of olive oil until browned on all sides to create a crispy exterior.
Transfer the seared pork to the slow cooker, add a splash of water if necessary, and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until tender and easily shreddable.
Once cooked, shred the pork using two forks and crisp it up further by placing it under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, turning once for extra crunch.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the shredded Napa cabbage, shredded carrot, orange segments, lime juice, and a light drizzle of olive oil. Toss gently to combine.
Plate a portion of the crispy pork carnitas and top with a generous serving of the fresh citrus slaw. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately while warm, enjoying the contrast between the savory, crispy pork and the refreshing, tangy slaw.
