Pork Carnitas Crockpot Recipe
Ingredients
1 boneless pork roast
1 teaspoon and 1 tablespoon ground cumin
Fresh cilantro
Salt to taste
Preparation
Place pork roast in the crockpot with 1/2 cup of water and 1 teaspoon of ground cumin and a half teaspoon of salt!.
Cook on low!. Check your crockpot instructions for minimum time by weight and whether the roast is fresh or frozen!. I usually put it in the crockpot in the morning and cook all day, it won't overcook over a period of 8-10 hours!.

Use a fork to pull apart the roast!. Remove and toss any visible fat!.
Finish the meat by tossing it with more ground cumin and with the fresh cilantro and salt to taste!.
Broil or fry in a non-stick pan briefly to dry it a bit and bring out the cumin flavor!.
