Beer Braised Carnitas

By MooK

Ingredients

• 1 pork shoulder joint, about 4.5 lb
• mixed dried chillies
• 1 green chilli, sliced
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 bulb garlic, left whole and unpeeled
• 1/2 tbsp salt
• 1/2 tbsp pepper
• 1/2 tbsp cumin
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 1/2 cups beer (your favourite)
• pineapple salsa, tortillas, guac, crema, to serve

Preparation

Step 1

Pop all of the ingredients in the slow-cooker and cook on high for 6 hours. Lift out the joint into a baking dish and fork apart until nicely shredded (leave a few chunks).
Ladle over some of the cooking liquor and place under a grill for 5 minutes to get the top pieces a little crispy.
