Carnitas experiment today

[hazelchaz]

I went home on my lunch break and put this into a standard crockpot on high. It just about filled it up.

5.8 lb pork shoulder blade roast, boneless, cut into stewing size chunks
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp dry "roasted garlic"
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp Lawry's seasoning salt
1 TB cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
3 cups of water

I forgot to pick up an onion, so I'll get one on the way home from work to chop up and add to the mix when I take the pork out, shred it with a fork, and put it back in after it's been cooking for 6 hours.

Oooh, does that sound good!

It was good. I chopped half an onion - Possibly more than I needed - and I also reduced the liquid by a cup or two. One cup of water is probably enough.
