This has become a staple in our home. We absolutely LOVE this pork. There is a restaurant chain here in Utah called Costa Vida and this is as close as we have come to replicating the sweet pork they make there for the burritos/salads/etc. Ingredients:
4 -5 lbs pork roast |
12 ounces salsa (we usually use pace picante medium(but we have used homemade salsa with great results) |
1 1/2 cups brown sugar |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (just enough to coat the skillet) |
kosher salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat-we prefer to use Cast-Iron for searing, so if you have one, use it.
2. Rub the Salt and Pepper all over the roast.
3. Sear the Roast in the skillet for 1-2 min per side.
4. Toss the seared Roast in your crock-pot.
5. sprinkle the Brown Sugar over the roast and then dump the salsa over the top of that.
6. Cook on Low for 10-12 hours. You will know when the roast is done, because it will shred easily with a couple of forks.
7. Shred the pork right there in your crockpot and mix it all up with the drippings and other liquids.
8. Serve as a filling for tacos/burritos or on top of salads.
