Crispy Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas with Fresh Citrus Slaw
Enjoy tender, slow-cooked pork carnitas that are finished with a delightful crisp, paired with a bright and refreshing citrus slaw. This dish balances savory, rich pork with a zesty slaw made from fresh cabbage, orange, and lime for an exciting play of textures and flavors.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Pork Shoulder (cooked, braised)
1/2 medium Orange
1/4 medium Red Onion
1 cup shredded Green Cabbage
Juice of 1 Lime
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp chopped Cilantro
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the pork shoulder with cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Slow cook the pork in a slow cooker with a splash of water or low-sodium broth until tender (approximately 6-8 hours on low or 4 hours on high). Once cooked, shred the pork.
Increase the skillet heat to crisp up the shredded pork. Place the pork in the hot skillet and cook until edges are golden and crispy.
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded green cabbage, thinly sliced red onion, orange segments (gently separated), lime juice, olive oil, and chopped cilantro to create the citrus slaw.
Plate a serving of crispy pork carnitas and top with a generous portion of the fresh citrus slaw.
Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant mix of rich pork and zesty slaw.
