Carnitas Inspired Pork Roast

An easy crock-pot pork roast that is super versatile
Course: Main Course
Keyword: Crock-Pot, Low-FODMAP, Pork, Slow Cooker
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 2-3 pounds pork roast or pork butt
  • 1/3 cup orange juice fresh or bottled
  • 1/3 cup vinegar combo of white and apple cider
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice fresh or bottled
  • 2 tbsp cumin powder
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp cayenne powder more or less to taste
  • 4-5 whole cloves or 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp all spice
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 shot tequila

Instructions

  • Start by browning your pork roast on all sides in a hot skillet. I do about 2 minutes per side, so it's nice and browned. Place in the crockpot.
  • Add remaining ingredients to the crockpot and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 7-8 hours. Once you are nearing the end of time, the pork should be mostly fork-tender. Shred the pork and stir it into all the juices.
  • Once you're ready to eat, remove the shredded pork from the crockpot and spread it out on a baking sheet. Place under a broiler for 5-7 minutes or so, until it's nice and browned and crispy! Watch closely to prevent burning.
