Pork Carnitas
- 3-5lb Bone in Pork Shoulder
- 1 Poblano Pepper
- Fajita Seasoning Blend (or make your own)
- 2 Medium White Onions
- 2 Green Peppers
- Minced Garlic
- 3-4 Jalapeno Peppers
- 1 Large Tomoato
- 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- In a large skillet or cast iron pan heat the 1 Tbsp oil on medium-high heat.
- Rince and dry roast and then coat liberally with Fajita seasoning on all sides.
- Brown all sides of roast in skillet for approximately 2 minutes each.
- Rough cut one green pepper, onion, and the Poblano pepper and place in the bottom of a crock pot. Place the roast with the fattiest side UP on top of the peppers and onion.
- Set the Crock Pot to run on low for 8-10 hours.
- When the alloted cooking time is up remove the cover and shred the pork using two large forks. You can seperate the fat and remove the bones if you wish.
- Replace the lid and set the Crock Pot to a "warm" setting if available. Dice the remaining green pepper, onion, and tomato and slice/seed the Jalapeno into rings.
- Heat a cast iron skillet or non stick pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the green pepper, jalepeno, and tomatos and begin to sautee for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the onions and 1 tsp. garlic and sautee for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Add the shredded pork and mix adding a little of the broth from the crock pot for flavor.
- Stir frequently and continue cooking for 5-8 minutes until the broth has cooked out and pork begins to crisp on the edges.
- Remove to a large bowl or directly to a place.
- ENJOY!
- You may wish to do the final cooking in batches since a 3-5lb roast will serve 6-8 people and be difficult to manage in a single pan. If you do that simply divide the peppers, onions, and tomatoes and repeat steps 9-12 until all ingredients have been used. When doing batches I used 1 tsp garlic per batch.
