Carnitas:

1) Dry a pork shoulder w/ a paper towel and trim off the fat as best you can..

2) mix some black pepper, salt, cumin and corriander up and rub it into the pork. I use a 1:1 ratio for all of these, but adjust to your taste..

3) You need to really sear the sides of the pork shoulder, so put oil in a pan or in your slow cooker insert and throw pretty high heat at it for 10 minutes a side.

4) The cooking liquid can vary. Some people use orange juice, some people use soda, some use beer.. I use apple cider vinegar because my family enjoys the american/mexican fusion it creates. You dont need very much, maybe a little over a half inch on the bottom of the slow cooker. I usually chop up some garlic and throw it in too.

5) Set it low and cook it for 8 hours.

6) when its done, shred it w/ a fork.

Serve it with rice, beans and salsa (regular or verde will work).
