Slow Cooker Carnitas

Since Brady's been born, I've relied heavily on the slow cooker.  I've been branching out and trying new recipes and this is a new favorite in our house.  It's simple to prepare, makes enough for plenty of leftovers, is so delicious.  I use the  carnitas for tacos, but you could also do burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas, etc.  

Slow Cooker Carnitas (adapted from allrecipes.com

Ingredients

  • 3 teaspoon salt
  • 3 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1.5 teaspoon crumbled dried oregano
  • 1.5 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 (4 pound) boneless pork shoulder roast
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 3 cups chicken broth

Directions

  1. Mix together salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, and coriander in a bowl. Coat pork with the spice mixture. Place the bay leaves in the bottom of a slow cooker and place the pork on top. Pour the chicken broth around the sides of the pork, being careful not to rinse off the spice mixture.
  2. Cover and cook on Low until the pork shreds easily with a fork, about 10 hours. When the pork is tender, remove from slow cooker, and shred with two forks. Use cooking liquid as needed to moisten the meat.

First off I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself
and clear your head prior to writing. I have had a hard
time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I
do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend
to be wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any suggestions or tips? Appreciate it!

It is astoundingly true that Google drives massive traffic by increasing visitors to a specific business you want to blog
comment on that site as well. And that's why the tag is because too many sites 'spammed' the tag in the early days when the Web was just getting off the ground say, 1994 or so.

I appreciate you finding the time and energy to put this content together.

I once again find myself personally spending way
too much time both reading and posting comments. But so what, it was still worth it!

Thanks for posting your diary regarding the ocala carpet improvement. consecutive step in our ocala carpet cleaning process involves spraying the carpet with a improvement detergent. Our carpet improvement detergent is fairly similar to powder Tide(TM) and is so safe for you and pets! This step dissolves any dirt at intervals the carpet and makes extracting it copious easier.
