Place pork roast in a stock pot and brown slightly on both sides about 3 minutes a side. Place in crock pot. Saute onions till slightly golden. Add garlic. Cook 1 minute. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and cumin. Pour over roast. Pour salsa (I prefer the fresh, refrigerated section salsa versus jarred but jarred will work too) and water over roast. Cook on low for 8 hours or until very tender.
When done, remove from crock pot, take two forks and pull the pork apart. Pour juices over meat.
Serve as is or with tortillas. I'm low carbing so I use lettuce leaves as my carnitas holder.
Top with any of the following sour cream, cilantro, grated cheese, guacamole, black olives, chopped onion, lettuce, chopped tomatoes, squeeze of lime. |
