Main Ingredients

For Serving

Method

Preparation of Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Shoulder

    Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into large chunks.

  2. 2

    Season the Pork

    In a bowl, season the pork chunks with salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. Rub the seasoning into the meat thoroughly.

Cooking the Dish

  1. 3

    Sear the Meat

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chunks and sear them until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add minced garlic, chopped onion, and diced bell pepper. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

  3. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Stir in diced tomatoes and chicken broth into the pot, scraping the bottom to deglaze. Return the seared pork to the pot.

  4. 6

    Add Bay Leaves

    Add bay leaves to the pot and bring the mixture to a simmer.

  5. 7

    Slow Cook

    Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for approximately 2 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

Finishing Touches

  1. 8

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded meat to the pot and mix well with the sauce.

  2. 9

    Garnish

    Before serving, stir in chopped fresh cilantro for added freshness and flavor.
