I know there are lots of recipes out there. I've combined some of the information I found out there and this is what I make now.
Ingredients:
3.5-4lb boneless pork butt cut into 1.5-2" cubes
1 TBS kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 TBS oregano
1 TBS cumin
1 cinnamon stick
2 bay leaves
1 large white onion, cut into wedges
8 cloves of garlic, smashed
1 lime
1 orange
6oz of Coke
2 bay leaves
Instructions:
-
pre-heat oven to 275F
-
places pork butt peices into casserole dish with spices
-
Juice lime and orange over meat
-
add coke
-
mix with hands
-
nestle in lime and orange remains, bay leaves, garlic and onion
-
cover casserole dish with aluminum foil
-
cook for about 3.5 hours until pork is tender
-
remove pork chunks and drain over strainer into bowl
-
remove onion, garlic, lime, orange, bay leaves and discard
-
set pork chunks aside
-
pour remaining liquid through strainer into bowl
-
shred pork chunks
-
skim off some of the fat from the bowl and mix into the shredded pork
-
to prepare pork for serving put on a sheet pan under a broiler to heat and crisp
-
eat it how you'd like (tacos, on rice, etc.)
I also save the liquid after I skim the fat off. I haven't used it yet but I suspect it would make for a tasty rice (suggestion from Stain).
