Cuban Pork Roast
This roast tastes amazing served straight from the pot with a squeeze of orange or lime juice. If you're not serving a crowd, you're sure to have leftovers, try using them in a Cuban sandwich, rice bowl, or a pork and black bean quesadilla.

-
Transfer meat to a cutting board, reserving citrus, onion, and cooking liquid. Shred meat. In a large bowl toss meat with enough cooking liquid to moisten. Once cool, squeeze citrus over meat to release juices; stir into meat. Store meat mixture in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 4 days or freezer up to 3 months. Makes about 7 cups.
Slow Cooker Variation:
Prepare as directed, except place meat in a 6- to 7-qt. slow cooker. Cover; cook on low 8 to 10 hours, adding citrus and onion the last hour of cooking.
