Slow Cooker Puerto Rican Pork Roast
Ingredients
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 large onion, quartered
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground ancho chile pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
  • 1 (3 pound) boneless pork loin roast
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
1
Combine minced garlic, chopped onion, dried oregano, ground cumin, diced chile pepper, salt, and black pepper in a blender. Add vinegar and gradually pour in olive oil until the mixture forms a smooth consistency. Stop the blender periodically to scrape down the sides and ensure everything is well combined.
2
Spread this marinade mixture evenly over the pork loin, coating it thoroughly. Place the coated pork loin in a slow cooker and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours, or until it reaches fork-tender perfection. When the pork is ready, cut it into bite-sized pieces or shred it with two forks. Serve hot, garnished with a squeeze of fresh lime juice
