CUMIN PULLED PORK
Pork shoulder (Butt) roast, boneless, 7 to 8 pounds 1 each
Carrots 10 ounces
Celery 10 ounces
Onions, sweet 10 ounces
Morton’s Seasoned Salt 4 TBL
Garlic Powder 2 TBL
Cumin 1 TBL
Oregano 2 TBL
Pepper, black, pure ground 2 TBL
Chicken Broth, canned 3 cups
Enchilada Sauce 1 cup
Preparation Instructions
1. Pre-heat a conventional oven to 300 degrees.
2. Rough-chop the vegetables and spread them out evenly in the bottom of a roasting pan. Mix all the spices together in a mixing bowl and then rub into the pork roast. Place
the pork roast, fat side up, on top of the vegetables.
3. In another bowl, mix the broth and enchilada sauce together and pour into the roasting pan.
4. Place the roast in the oven and bake for approximately 2-½ hours.
5. After the 2-½ hours, score the fat on the top of the roast. Baste the roast with the collected juices in the hotel pan every half hour for the next 3-½ hours for a total cook
time of 6 hours. Cover the roast with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil for the last 3 1/2 hours
6. Remove the roast from the oven and check to make sure it is fork-tender. When pulled at with a fork it should shred very easily. Remove the roast from the roasting pan and
set aside.
7. Strain the contents of the roasting pan through a strainer into a one gallon measuring pitcher. Let the juices settle until the fat and broth have clearly separated. Using the
ladle, skim of as much of the fat as possible.
8. Remove as much fat as possible from the outside of the roast. Shred the roast with forks and place into a storage container. Pour the de-greased broth over the shredded prk and allow to cool in the refrigerator. This can be prepared up to 3 days in advance.

5.. Garnish the plate with the cilantro and lime wedge. Serve immediately.
