- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 4 jalapeno peppers, sliced
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice

- 1 1/2 pounds tomatillos, quartered
- Place all of the ingredients except the tomatillos in the crock of a seven-quart slow cooker.
- Spread everything around evenly.
- Evenly spread the tomatillos on top of the other ingredients.
- Cook on low for 8 to 9 hours, or on high for 4 to 5 hours, till the pork is fall-apart tender.
- When ready, remove the meat from the pot and set it aside.
- Scoop out about half of the juices, skim most of the fat, and set the liquid aside.
