Time 6h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 kg / 4 lb pork shoulder (pork butt) (, skinless, boneless (5lb/2.5kg bone in) (Note 1))
2 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 onion (, chopped)
1 jalapeno (, deseeded, chopped)
4 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup juice from orange (2 oranges)
1 tbsp dried oregano
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp olive oil

Steps:

  • Rinse and dry the pork shoulder, rub all over with salt and pepper.
  • Combine the Rub ingredients then rub all over the pork.
  • Place the pork in a slow cooker (fat cap up), top with the onion, jalapeño, minced garlic (don't worry about spreading it) and squeeze over the juice of the oranges.
  • Slow Cook on low for 10 hours or on high for 7 hours. (Note 2 for other cook methods)
  • Pork should be tender enough to shred. Remove from slow cooker and let cool slightly. Then shred using two forks.
  • Optional: Skim off the fat from the juices remaining in the slow cooker and discard.
  • If you have a lot more than 2 cups of juice, then reduce it down to about 2 cups. The liquid will be salty, it is the seasoning for the pork. Set liquid aside - don't bother straining onion etc, it's super soft.

SPANISH SEASONED PORK (SLOW COOKER, CROCKPOT)



Spanish Seasoned Pork (Slow Cooker, Crockpot) image

This is a shredded pork recipe that has unique and delicious flavors. A nice change from the typical pulled pork with bbq sauce. It comes together easily and needs no tending while it cooks. The only tricky part is finding smoked paprika--I don't think you can find that at the regular market--but I suppose that any sweet or hot 'regular' paprika will do... Measurements of spices are approximate, I usually just sprinkle the meat until it is well-coated.

Categories     Pork

Time 6h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lbs boneless pork
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
2 tablespoons oregano
1 tablespoon cumin
1 orange
1/2 tablespoon garlic, granulated
4 tablespoons onion flakes

Steps:

  • Zest the orange (grate only the colored part of the skin), and juice it.
  • In the bottom of your slow cooker or clay pot, sprinkle half of the seasonings and half the orange zest.
  • Set the meat atop seasonings, then sprinkle remaining half of seasonings/zest over.
  • Pour the orange juice around the meat. Add enough water, if necessary, to just cover the bottom of the pot and moisten any seasoning that didn't adhere to the meat.
  • Cook in the oven at about 250 degrees F for 5-6 hours or until it shreds easily with a fork. Or in your crockpot, medium 6-8 hours.
  • Serve with shredded cheese and sour cream.
  • If you want to be more labor-intensive, use fresh sliced onion and minced garlic, butterfly the meat or stab it several times and work the seasoning into the meat before popping it into the oven.
  • These flavors could also be used with chicken -- maybe a whole bird, stuff the cavity with the spent orange -- remove the lid to brown the bird for the last 1/2 hour of cooking.
