South Of The Border Pulled Pork Recipe

	Crabhappychick / All my dishes 1 year, 5 months ago Deep, rich flavor to this unusual pulled pork - citrus, garlic, hot peppers, herbs - the pork cooks down into this beautiful sauce. Good over rice or tucked into tortillas - or arepas! Adapted from a recipe in the Baltimore Sun. Prep:10m Cook:240m Servings:6	Crabhappych

Ingredients

4 pound boneless pork butt

6 garlic cloves, slivered, plus 2 minced garlic cloves

1 t. salt

freshly ground black pepper to taste

1/4 c. olive oil

2 large red onions, chopped

2 jalapeno peppers, seeded, minced - unless you like it hotter

1 pound fresh tomatillos, prepared and chopped

3 c. chicken broth

2 T. orange zest

2 t. oregano, divided

3 T. fresh basil, minced

1 T. fresh lime juice

Directions

Preheat oven to 350. Push slivers of garlic into 1" deep cuts in pork. Season meat with salt and pepper.

Heat oil in large Dutch oven and brown pork on all sides well. Remove meat and set aside.

Add onion to the Dutch oven, reduce heat to medium. Saute onion until tender, stir in the minced garlic, the jalapeno and the tomatillos; cook until tomatillos are soft. Add chicken broth, orange zest and 1 t. oregano. Place the roast onto the vegetables and bathe it with the juices from the pan. Cover and cook for 4 hours until it begins to fall apart.

Remove meat from pot, add the basil, remaining oregano, lime juice and more freshly ground black pepper back into the pot. Pull pork apart and serve with sauce.
