Optional Toppings For Bowl
Directions
- Sprinkle roast on all sides with chili powder, rubbing it into meat. Season on all sides with salt and add to slow cooker. Add Juniper berries to the bottom of the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low until roast is falling-apart tender, about 6 hours.
- Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer meat to a large bowl. Use two forks to shred meat into bite-sized pieces. Moisten/season with cooking juices to taste. Cover to keep warm and set aside.
- Serve carnitas in a bowl with rice and any of the optional toppings.
*Whole muscle pork cuts are safe to eat when cooked to 145 degrees and allowed to rest for 3 minutes.
