INGREDIENTS
6 oz Pork Shoulder
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for searing)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for slaw dressing)
1/4 medium Yellow Onion
1 Garlic Clove
1 cup shredded Green Cabbage
1 tbsp Lime Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro, chopped
1/2 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Oregano
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Season the pork shoulder with cumin, oregano, and a pinch of salt. In a slow cooker, combine the pork with the sliced onion and minced garlic.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the pork. Set the slow cooker on low and cook for 6-8 hours until the pork is tender and easy to shred.
Once the pork is done, transfer it to a baking sheet and use a fork to shred the meat. Drizzle another teaspoon of olive oil over the shredded pork and place under a broiler for 3-5 minutes to crisp the edges.
In a bowl, mix shredded green cabbage with lime juice and chopped cilantro to prepare the slaw.
Serve a generous portion of crispy pork carnitas topped with the fresh cilantro lime slaw for a meal bursting with texture and flavor.
