Preparation

Step 1

Directions

1. Place the onion, garlic, jalapeño and pork in the base of a slow cooker. Add the salt, pepper, cumin and oregano.

2. Zest the oranges and lime over the pork, then halve them and squeeze the juice over the pork. Pour the broth overthe pork as well.

3. Put the lid on the slow cooker and set the heat on low. Cook for 7 hours, or until the meat is tender and easy to shred with a fork.

4. Use two forks to shred the meat. The pork can be served immediately (we prefer it in tacos) or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days, or in the freezer for up to a month.
