Keto Carnitas (Slow Cooker) instructions

6. Slowly lift roasts out of pot and place in large mixing bowl. Leave veggies and sauce in pot and add apple cider vinegar..
7. Shred pork with two forks and let cool for at least 10 minutes.
8. This next step is optional but adds the textural components lost from using the slow cooker. In large saute pan (I use my Wok) add a few tablespoons of bacon fat and turn heat on high and grease pan. You want it screaming hot. Then toss in 1/3 of the pulled pork and let it crisp up and stir a few times and then remove and add to separate mixing bowl to cool and repeat the process two more times.
9. Portion out pork into portion containers then scoop out sauce from slow cooker over top of pork.
10. Enjoy!.

Just be sure to follow the final step of browning the meat in some of the roasting juices. The browned bits are where the magic happens. Make a paste by combining the olive oil, dried oregano, lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika and salt and pepper.
