My Father doesn’t eat red meat so growing up my Mom didn’t cook it that often. Then I married a man who doesn’t eat pork (except for bacon of course) so by default I don’t really cook it a lot either. Which is a shame because like chili and roasts, I pulled pork was made to be cooked in the slow cooker!

This is a play on my Slow Cooker Garlic Citrus Chicken, which is a play on Cuban mojo marinade. A ‘play on’ a ‘play on’. Yup. It’s pretty much almost (there are a couple new additions) the exact same ingredients but with different measurements and over pork instead of chicken. Yes, you can substitute chicken here; I would go with boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
