Carnitas

Ingredients

• 1 (6 pound) pork butt roast
• 1 ½ Tbsp salt
• 1 Tbsp dried oregano
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• ½ tsp chile powder
• ½ tsp paprika
• 2 Tbsp olive oil or more to taste
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 onion, coarsely chopped

Instructions

1. Trim excess fat from pork butt, cut pork into 2-inch cubes, and transfer to a large bowl.
2. Combine salt, oregano, cumin, black pepper, chile powder, and paprika in a small bowl. Rub pork cubes with spice mixture.
3. Coat seasoned pork cubes lightly in olive oil and transfer to a pressure cooker. Cover pork cubes with orange juice, onion, and garlic.
4. Cook on high pressure for about 60 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for about 15 minutes.
5. Remove pork from the pressure cooker, place on a baking sheet, and shred the pork.
6. Place pork in the oven and broil for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and add some leftover juices from the slow cooker and place back in the broiler for another 5 minutes. Add more leftover juices when finished. Add a handful of chopped cilantro if desired.
