Onion · peeled diced1
Garlic · peeled minced5 cloves
Orange juice120 ml
Salt2 tsp
Black pepper1 tsp
Chili flake · flakes1 tsp
Oregano · dried1 tbsp
Cumin2 tbsp
Oil2 tbsp

Instructions

Put the pork in the slow cooker fat side up.
Arrange the onion and garlic around the sides of the pork, then pour over the orange juice. The liquid looks small but the pork will release more as it cooks.
Sprinkle over the salt, pepper, chilli flakes (if using), oregano and cumin.
Cook on low for 9-10 hours or on high for 7-8 hours.
Lift the pork out onto a board. Shred it into pieces and discard any large chunks of fat.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the shredded pork, leaving as much liquid behind as possible.
Fry for 8-10 minutes, turning only occasionally, until crispy bits form.
Add about 240 ml (1 cup) of the cooking juices and let it bubble for a few minutes.
Turn off the heat and serve with the remaining cooking liquid for drizzling.
