Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lb pork shoulder
  • 1 1/2 cups salsa verde no added sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lime

Method
 

  1. Pat the pork shoulder dry.
  2. Season the pork evenly with cumin, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Place the seasoned pork shoulder in the slow cooker.
  4. Pour the salsa verde around and over the pork.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours, or until the pork is very tender and pulls apart easily with two forks.
  6. Shred the pork using two forks.
  7. Stir the shredded pork into the cooking juices and salsa verde.
  8. Add the fresh lime juice just before serving.

Notes

Do not add extra water unless absolutely necessary. Pork shoulder releases moisture as it slow-cooks, and too much added liquid can weaken the salsa verde flavor.
