Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Pork
In a large bowl, combine the pork shoulder, minced garlic cloves, lime juice, orange juice, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and bay leaves. Ensure the pork is well coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
Cooking

Slow Cook the Pork
After marinating, preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the marinated pork shoulder in a large roasting pan along with the marinade. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and cook in the preheated oven for about 4-5 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
