Slow Cooker Pernil Pork

Ingredients

• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 large onion, quartered
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons dried ancho chile powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• olive oil
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

• 1 (3 lb)  boneless pork loin roast
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   Cook on low until the pork is fork tender, 6 to 8 hours. (If you need to speed it up, you can substitute 1 hour at high for two of the hours on low. Do this at the beginning, though, not the end.)

3. 3

   When ready, cut the pork into chunks, or shred; garnish with lime wedges to serve.
