ingredients
- 2 lbs pork shoulder
- 2 tablespoons lard
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup stock (beef, pork, or chicken)
- 1⁄3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 jalapeno, minced
- 1 lime, juice of
directions
- On the stove, preheat a large pot to high heat.
- In a small bowl combine the garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and cloves with a fork.
- Dry off the shoulder with a towel and rub the outside of the pork shoulder with the spice mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the stock, apple cider vinegar, and jalapeno.
- Once the pot is hot enough for water to bead, add the lard and allow it to melt.
- Place the pork shoulder in the hot pot and sear it on all sides.
- Immediately pour the stock mixture into the pot and allow everything to come to a boil.
- Cover the pot with a lid and turn heat down to a simmer over low-medium heat.
- The meat will be done when it easily falls apart and shreds with a fork (for a 2lb. roast, this could take 2-3 hours). You may check on the meat once or twice during the cooking process to ensure it does not dry out.
- Once the meat is done cooking, squeeze the lime juice over the barbacoa and stir to combine flavors.
- Enjoy!
