SLOW COOKER CUBAN MOJO PORK image

Categories     Pork     Dinner     Lunch

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 pounds Boneless pork shoulder
8 cloves Garlic
1/2 cup Orange Juice
1/2 cup Lime Juice
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1 cup Cilantro
1/4 cup Mint Leaves, lightly packed
1 piece Zest of 1 Orange
1 piece Zest of 1 Lime
2 teaspoons Dried Oregano
2 teaspoons Ground Cumin
1-1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender, combine all of the ingredients except for the pork shoulder and pulse until everything is finely chopped. If you do not have a food processor or blender, just finely chop the herbs and mince the garlic, then combine everything in a bowl and whisk together. Set aside about 1/3 cup of the mojo sauce for later and keep it in the fridge while the pork cooks.
  • Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker and pour the mojo sauce over it. Cover and cook on HIGH for 5-6 hours or on LOW for 8-10 hours.
  • When the pork is fully cooked and tender, carefully transfer it to a baking sheet and bake in a 400 degree F oven for 15-20 minutes until browned on top. While doing this, you can thicken the cooking juices remaining in the slow cooked using a slurry made from 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon of water, if desired. Just stir it in, cover, and cook on HIGH for 20-30 minutes while browning the pork and shredded it.
  • Pull the Cuban mojo pork apart using two fork or just by chopping with a large knife a few times to break it up into tender chunks. Drizzle with reserved mojo sauce, if desired, and serve with the remaining juices from the slow cooker.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the pork came out really dry.
