Thank you to Carole from My Kitchen Escapades for enlightening me to this recipe! Seriously! You deserve an award!
I usually make a green chile and lime shredded pork recipe in the slow cooker when I'm planning pork tacos. That was my plan up until last night when I happened upon Carole's recipe and changed my game plan. Holy moly ... I'm so glad I did!
Let it be noted that this recipe does require a couple of extra steps compared to just slow-cooking seasoned pork and then shredding it. It requires that the pork be started on the stove top, then slow-cooked for a couple of hours in the oven, then broken up (while the cooking liquid reduces on the stove top), then combined with said reduced liquid and then broiled in the oven to finish.
But, I promise you that it is 100% worth it! This recipe results in tender, juicy meat that is super flavorful and caramelized. Simply put ... it is pork perfection! Everyone in our house loved this! It's certainly something that I will make again ... many times over!
