Well I usually do my slow cooking in a large Dutch Oven or my smoker, but for this I decided to purchase a Crock Pot. I played with the recipe just a touch adding more fresh from the garden Oregano then called for, and Maui Onion instead of regular yellow onion. I also used a large Brandywine tomato and far more garlic than the recipe calls for. This time I used a 3 lb pork shoulder. The leaf was from my Manzano. Cooked it on low for 8 hours and let me tell you the smell was killing us all afternoon. We were starving by dinner time! The finish product was tender and delicious! We served it shredded on corn tortillas with chopped onion, cilantro, fresh salsa and a squeeze of Lime.

Definitely two thumbs up!
