Pulled Pork

Found this recipe on Pennies on a platter but changed a few things to work in a crock pot. It was fabulous!! We ate it on white corn tortillas with cheese, salsa, sour cream and lettuce, but it would be great on a salad, in a burrito.. by it's self. Seriously tasty!!

Pulled Pork

One 5 to 7-pound pork shoulder roast (or butt roast as it’s called in my grocery store)
1 onion, quartered
1 Tbs chili powder
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp ground cumin
1 to 2 Tbs salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
3 Tbs olive oil
2 Tbs white wine vinegar
1/2 cup water


Rinse the pork and pat dry. Pulse the onion, chili powder, brown sugar, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, olive oil, and vinegar in a food processor until thoroughly combined.

Place the roast into crock pot on low. Pour the marinade over the pork and, using your hands, rub into every nook and cranny. Flip the pork and repeat. Add 2 cups water to the pan. Cook for about 8 to 10 hours on low. About an hour before serving, shred and place meat back into juices and leave on low for another hour.
