Slow Cooker Mojo Pork

I love, love, love Cuban food. We have lots of great Cuban restaurants in our area, but I love finding ways to cook it at home. This recipe is so easy and the pork can be eaten as is or used for many other recipes, like the best Cuban Sandwiches EVER!


 I use pork butt or picnic shoulder. It's inexpensive and very tasty. Just slice up the orange, lemon, lime and onion. Crush or mince about 5 cloves of garlic, and sprinkle the pork with a seasoning salt. I like Badia's Adobo.


Put about half of the citrus and onions on the bottom of the slow cooker, top with crushed garlic. Put the pork in and cover with the rest of the citrus and onion. Cook on low for 8 - 10 hours. Take the pork  out, shred it and add back some of the sauce left in the slow cooker.

YUM!!!!




Be sure to save your left-overs for Cuban Sandwiches or Mojo Pork Tacos!

  2. It came out really bitter from the lemon and orange rind:(

  3. Might be that your meat was too healthy. Mine comes out better with bone in and more fat content. I also cheat and buy Mojo at the store sometimes, cook on hi for less time, & some neighbors cut it up into brisket size slabs to BBQ or smoke it! Yummmm!
