Slow Cooker Puerto Rican Shredded Pork

Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Use a sharp knife to poke 3 to 5 holes into pork roast. Stuff about half the garlic into the holes. Cook roast in hot oil to brown completely, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer roast to the crock of a slow cooker.

Step 3
Blend orange juice, lime juice, remaining garlic, cumin, salt, and oregano in a blender until smooth; pour over pork.

Step 4
Leave pork marinating in orange juice mixture for 10 minutes; turn roast and let other side marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 5
Turn slow cooker to Low and cook for 8 hours.

Step 6
Remove pork to a cutting board. Shred meat using 2 forks.

Step 7
Drain liquid from the slow cooker crock, reserving 1 cup. Return shredded pork to the slow cooker crock, pour reserved liquid over meat and stir.

Step 8
Cook on Low until meat is again hot, 15 to 20 minutes.
