Tangy, citrus-y shredded pork; great for any kind of taco/burrito/enchilada filling or as the star of a chile or torta. I found this online somewhere and made it for my husband's 50th birthday party and had raves from guests (and those who said they didn't like pork!) This also freezes extremely well. Ingredients:
5 lbs pork shoulder (boston butt) |
1 1/2 cups orange juice (more if necessary) |
1/2 cup lime juice |
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves |
3 -4 green onions, trimmed |
4 -6 large garlic cloves |
1 tablespoon dried chipotle powder |
1 tablespoon smoked paprika |
2 teaspoons pepper |
2 teaspoons cumin |
1 big pinch cinnamon |
1 pinch clove |
salt |
Directions:
1. 1. Trim pork of excess fat.
2. 2. Blend all ingredients in food processor. Pour over pork, marinate overnight.
3. 3. Put pork and marinade into oven safe pot, uncovered. If needed, add a little broth so the liquid goes about 1/4 up the side of the pork. Bake at 275 for about 5 -6 hours until browned on the outside and falling apart. Shred with forks or by hand, removing any cartilage and excess fat.
