Cacoila (Portuguese Pulled Pork)
Why I Love This Recipe
Ingredients You'll Need
2 lbs. pork (butt, shoulder, whatevs)
2 onions, sliced into rings
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. red pepper flakes (unless you have a Portuguese market nearby and then you can use Pemento Muida)
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 cup OJ
1/2 cup red wine
1 cup water
Directions
Slow Cooker: Add all ingredients to a slow cooker and toss to coat.
Cook on high for 4 hours or until pork falls apart easily.
Shred and serve on soft Portuguese rolls.
Stove Top: Add all ingredients to a large pot and cook over medium heat for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
If liquid begins to reduce too much, add a bit more water so that the meat will not dry out.
Shred and serve on soft Portuguese rolls.
