Had a pork shoulder, about 2 pounds in the fridge this morning, so 10 minutes before I had to leave to take Sam to school and head to work I tossed it in the crock pot for some tacos later. Here's the recipe.
1 - 2lb pork shoulder (if yours is bigger, make more spice mixture)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 onion, sliced
1 or 2 cloves garlic smashed
1/2 cup water or chicken broth
Mix spices together in a small bowl.
Rub on pork shoulder.
Put pork shoulder in crockpot.
Put onions and garlic on top
Add liquid, cover crockpot and put on low for 6-8 hours.
Remove pork and onions from liquid. Strain liquid, and let fat settle to top and remove.
Shred pork and onions together (you can leave the onion out if you like, but it's extra yummy with it in).
Add back some of the defatted liquid if you think the pork looks dry. If using for tacos, careful how much you add as your tacos will be too juicy.
Use pork for tacos, burritos or toss into a hot pan with a bit of oil and make carnitas.
Nothing but yum no matter how you use it.
