Slow Cooked Pork

I realized my pork barely ever makes it to the blog - mostly cause its gone before I realize I didn't take any pictures. Slow cooked pork is great with rice and beans, tortillas, in hamburger buns, tacos, in a pita...pretty much whatever you can think of. And the best part is that it barely requires any effort - yet tastes oh so good.


Picnic shoulder, pork butt or rib ends work best. I usually mix up all my spices and just dump it over the pork in a slow cooker and set it for at least 4-6 hours. I make up my spice mix everytime. I just add whatever I can get my hands on that day.

This one in particular has -
Chipotle in adobo
Cumin powder
Cocoa powder
Tomato puree
Salt & Pepper

A couple of other things I've experimented with are:
Tamarind paste
Red wine vinegar
Brown sugar
Coriander powder
Maple syrup
Soy Sauce
Worcestershire sauce
Garlic

Pretty much anything goes in this recipe. Just mix into a paste and pour over the meat. Come back in 6 hours and dig in!
