Desperado Carnitas

The mother of all Mexican foods with my rendition inspired by one of the baddest Mexican action heroes. Done in a slow cooker.

Ingredient

4 lb

jalapeno peppers, gutted and chopped

1/2 tsp

tequila (use cheap lousy stuff like quervo)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Grease the inside of your slow cooker with olive oil on a paper towel or butter

* Step 2

Rub pork with cumin, chilli powder, salt, pepper, oregano

* Step 3

Add pork to slow cooker, fat side down.

* Step 4

Add orange juice, tequila, garlic, onion, cilantro and jalapeno

* Step 5

Cover and cook on low for 10 hrs. Trust me about the time.

* Step 6

After 10 hours, remove pork and shred with two forks in a large bowl until meat is stringy. Let cool to room temp. Reserve ALL cooking liquid in another bowl and cool to room temp. Place both items in fridge overnight.

* Step 7

There will be a layer of fat from cooking liquid on top. Skim off, or spoon a hole in one corner to let liquid pass through. Strain liquid through a mash strainer to catch any solids.

* Step 8

Use a large pot and bring liquid to a simmer. Add all pulled pork. Simmer until all liquid has been absorbed. Transfer meat to an oiled preheated frying pan.
