CARNITAS (SLOW COOKER)
You'll find many uses for this slow cooker carnitas recipe. Carnitas is the Mexican version of pulled pork. In this recipe, a pork shoulder is coated in cumin, coriander, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and cinnamon. It's a fantastic blend of spices. Letting the coated pork sit in the fridge overnight enables the spice flavor to permeate the meat. After cooking in the slow cooker, the pork is very tender. It makes a lot, so we made nachos and sandwiches with them.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix together all the spices except the bay leaves.
- Rub the pork with the spice mixture.
- Put into a Ziploc bag and refrigerate overnight.
- In the morning, place the bay leaves in the bottom of a slow cooker. Place the roast on top of the leaves. Pour the chicken broth around the sides of the pork, being careful not to rinse off the spice mixture.
- Cover and cook on low until the pork shreds easily with a fork, about 10 hours. Turn the meat after it has cooked for 5 hours.
- When the pork is tender, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Use the cooking liquid, as needed, to moisten the meat.
