Cuban Pork
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup lime juice
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup grapefruit juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
3 pounds boneless pork shoulder roast
1 cup sliced onion
vegetable-flavored or plain flour tortillas
pico de gallo
lettuce
guacamole (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
For marinade, in a small bowl combine lime juice, water, grapefruit juice, garlic, oregano, salt, cumin, pepper, and bay leaves.
Trim fat from meat. If necessary, cut roast to fit into slow cooker. With a large fork, pierce meat in several places. Place in a large plastic bag set in a deep bowl or a baking dish. Pour marinade over meat. Close bag. Chill in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours, turning occasionally.
In a 3-1/2- to 5-quart slow cooker place onion. Top with meat and marinade mixture. Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 10 to 12 hours or on high-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours.
Transfer meat to a cutting board; cool slightly. Skim fat from juices; keep warm. Remove bay leaves; discard. Use 2 forks to gently separate the meat into shreds. Transfer shredded meat to a serving platter. With a slotted spoon, remove onions from juices. Transfer onions to same serving platter. Serve meat and onions in tortillas with small bowls of the hot juices and Pico de Gallo. If desired, pass lettuce and guacamole.

What a wonderful and easy recipe for pork shoulder. The meat was tender and tasty. I served it with black beans and rice and used the leftovers for burritos. My hubby said it was a "make again" recipe.

A spectacular recipe! I cooked a 2.5 lb bone-in pork butt roast in a 2 qt slow cooker (it fit just fine) on high for 6 hrs, turning meat over once. Doubled the (serving-adjusted)amounts of garlic and onion and was happy I did. Omitted the black pepper so that folks could heat up their individual servings with Tabasco sauce to their own liking. The Pico de Gallo recipe was very easy to prepare and certainly worth the effort. Served 4 adults comfortably and not a shred of anything was left over! This recipe is absolutely a 'keeper' as is, and I plan to try it again soon with a beef chuck roast, and also with chicken thighs and legs.

Terrific and Easy! I only had time to marinate for 3 hours and it was still great.
