Pernil Pork Roast Crock Pot

4 cloves garlic
1 large onion, quartered
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground ancho chile pepper
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 (3 pound) boneless pork loin roast
1 lime, cut into wedges

Place the garlic, onion, oregano, cumin, chile pepper, salt, and pepper into a blender. Pour in the olive oil and vinegar. Puree until smooth. Spread this mixture all over the pork loin, and place into a slow cooker.

Cook on Low until the pork is fork tender, 6 to 8 hours. When ready, cut the pork into chunks, or shred; garnish with lime wedges to serve.

Even though this roast recipe calls for pork loin a shoulder roast would be a good substitute and a little less expensive.

The crock pot is an awesome tool and I use mine on a regular basis, however this roast would be just as good done in the oven. Of course cooking time would have to be adjusted. I always use a meat thermometer for oven roasts and cook the roast to 155 degrees.

The leftovers are super if you happen to have any. Great for a taco dinner the following night.

Overall this is an awesome recipe. Drag out your crock pot, dust it off and give a try to this crock pot roast.
