Ingredients:

  • 2 pork roasts

Preparation:

Combine ingredients in a slow cooker and cook for 4 hours.  Remove pork from broth and let stand until cool.  You may keep the broth aside for use in other recopies, like tamales. For a spicier meat also add Chili Powder and/or chilis to taste before cooking.
