Slow Cooker Carnitas

1. 1

   Place pork roast in the bottom of the crock pot.

2. 2

   Mix all the spices in a bowl to combine.

3. 3

   Sprinkle half of the spices over the pork roast and turn the roast and pour remaining spices on top.

4. 4

   (You could season the pork roast prior to putting it in the crock pot, I just find this to be a much less messier processand I love less messbut it wont change the way it tastes if you do it prior!)

5. 5

   Next, pour the chicken broth or stock around the outsides of the roast, trying to keep as much of the seasoning on the roasts as possible.

6. 6

   Put the lid on and set for 8 hours (low).

7. 7

   Most importantly, dont touch it throughout the cooking time.

8. 8

   When its finished cooking, take two forks and shred the meat in the crock pot and let it soak up some of the juice.

9. 9

   At this point, you can either serve it in tortillas with your favorite fixings or I like to transfer some to a large pan with a little olive oil and onions and put a little bit of a crisp on the carnitas.
