Very good, but I will make with more seasoning next time and more heat.

Made this tonight and it was great! Recently pulled a few days in the hospital and saw this on my blackberry, couldnt wait to try it. Went well with Guy's cuban beans. I followed the recipe exactly but used my pressure cooker to speed up cooking time. Fed a crowd and they all raved!

This is my third time making this, and it's going to be great for my Superbowl Sunday party. Thank you Melissa.

It needed more seasoning for me. I added salt and pepper to it when I was browning it in the frying pan.

This is our new crockpot go to dish!! Like others, I "tweaked" the recipe slightly to accommodate the taste of our family. I added the juice of one lime and half a can of Mexican beer to the crockpot as well as the extra heat of dried red peppers. Absolutely delicious!

Made this for the 3rd time today. So good! I added a little more heat (red pepper flakes & extra jalapeno. Also, added 2 oranges & Sazon Tropical Seasoning. Shredded the pork in the broth instead of pan frying, too. We like the Food Network Black Bean recipe with it. Thanks Melissa. Your recipes are easy to make & full of flavor!

All I can say is Perfecto!!!!! This was so easy and so delicious!! My husband said it was better than most restaurant carnitas plates. I turned my rub into an overnight marinade, used brown rice and finished it with a lime creama. I will make this recipe a staple go to dinner for the rest of my days! Thank you Melissa!

This stuff is AWESOME however the last step of frying it is totally unnecessary. I understand it gives a bigger variety of texture, but in reality it just adds more fat. Having the fork tender pork with a little heat, sweetness from the citrus and and various spices is amazing all on its own! This is DEFINITELY one of my favorite Melissa recipes!!

So I bought this epic slow-cooker years ago and since then every slow-cooker recipe I have attempted failed. I started to think that my slow-cooker was a lemon... until this recipe. You can pretty much omit that bit about shredding the pork because it just falls apart into shreds.

I like things a bit on the spicy side so in addition to the jalapeno I added about a tsp of cayenne. For the onion I cut it into 8 wedges making sure the root held them together-- after cooking I fished the soggy onion wedges out along with the orange and mixed the shredded pork into the cooking liquid... and then lacking all self-control we made up the burrito bowls and noshed to our hearts content-- completely forgetting to fry the carnitas after shredding. BUT it tasted AWSOME. I want to try this recipe with steak and chicken.
