How to make carnitas that are unapologetically porky, juicy, and tender with crisped-up edges. This Mexican slow cooked pulled pork is surprisingly simple to make and delicious. I use an oven, but tips for using a slow cooker are below the recipe.

Ingredients

4 pounds (1800g) pork shoulder with the fat left on, use bone-in or boneless

2 teaspoons fine sea salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

3 tablespoons avocado oil or melted pork lard

1 medium orange, halved, or 2 use clementines

Half large onion, quartered

5 cloves garlic

1 bay leaf

1 cinnamon stick, broken in half
