Crockpot Carnitas

Crockpot Carnitas are one busy mama's go to save all meal.  It's stupid simple.  The final product has endless options.  Wanna shred the meat and make pulled pork?  Go ahead.  Wanna cut it and serve it as an actual cut of meat? Go ahead.  Leftovers you need to freeze?  Go ahead.  It thaws and reheats just fine.  Let's not kid ourselves.. with a growing teenager there aren't leftovers around here but you get the idea.  

INGREDIENTS

• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 orange
• 1 boneless pork roast

INSTRUCTIONS 

• In a small bowl, combine the black pepper, ground cumin and oregano.  
• Trim excess fat from the roast. 
• Press the seasoning mixture into the roast on all sides. 
• Pour the broth into the bottom of the slow cooker.  
• Place the roast inside and arrange the orange slices over the top.  
• Cook on low for 8 - 10 hours.  
• Carefully remove the roast from the slow cooker and discard the orange slices.  
• You can either shred the meat or simply cut it into portions.  I recommend 3 ounce portions.
