Full recipe:

Slow cooker Pork Carnitas

3 Lbs Pork Top Loin Roast, boneless and fairly lean

Sauce
4 Cloves Garlic, minced
4 oz Diced Chilli Can, mild
1 Yellow Onion, small diced
½ Cup Chicken Stock, gluten and soy free
¼ Cup Lemon Juice, or orange juice
2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar

Spices
1 Tablespoon Oregano, dried
2 teaspoons Cumin, ground
2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika
1½ teaspoon Sea Salt
1 teaspoon Chili Powder
½ teaspoon Ground Pepper
¼ teaspoon Cinnamon, ground
⅛ teaspoon Cloves, ground
⅛ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper, dried

Instructions:

Place the pork roast fat side down in the slow cooker. In a small bowl mix all the spices together. Sprinkle the spices over the pork roast in the crockpot. Add all the sauce ingredients around the pork roast and mix them together. Spoon a bit of the liquid over the roast.

Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Cook for 4-6 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low. The pork is done when it is fork tender and can be easily pulled apart with a fork.

Remove the pork roast from the slow cooker onto a cutting board and shred the pork with two forks pulling the meat apart. Once it is all pulled apart return the shredded pork meat back to the crockpot. Mix the meat into the sauce. Serve.

Notes:

If the pork is really fatty remove some of the fat before cooking but trimming it.

If the sauce has a lot of oil on the top from the pork, you can skim the excess fat off using a fat separator, or an ice cube.

We like to remove any extra fat from the fat cap before shredding the meat that hasn’t cooked down.

Lemon juice can be replaced with freshly squeezed orange juice or lime juice.
