Friends who live in Mexico shared this dish with me years ago. They cooked the roast in a clay pot in a slow oven, but I found the recipe works well in a slow cooker. The leftovers make excellent burritos and tacos. —Chuck Allen, Dana Point, California

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium onions, sliced
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 boneless pork shoulder butt roast (3 pounds)

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook the onions, carrots and jalapenos until tender, 2-3 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker; add water and broth.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the coriander, salt, cumin, oregano and pepper; rub over roast. Cut roast in half; place in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low until meat is tender, 8-9 hours.
  3. Transfer roast and vegetables to a serving platter; keep warm. Strain cooking juices and skim fat. Pour into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to about 1 cup. Serve with roast and vegetables.
Peppers (Hot)
Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
