We love a slow cooker recipe in the Biegel household, and my husband especially loves one that involves pulled pork. He is a big fan of al pastor, so I took inspiration from there and added pineapple. I also took inspiration from carnitas recipes made with cola, so it is a bit of a combination. The flavors marry really nicely together and the house smells wonderful with this pork simmering away all day.
Mix together the coriander, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle all sides of the pork butt with the mixture.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork butt on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes.
In a food processor, combine the pineapple, brown sugar, garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, orange juice, onion, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper.
Place the pork butt in a slow cooker and add the pineapple mixture, bay leaves and cola. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
Remove and shred the pork. Serve on tortillas with chopped white onion, fresh cilantro leaves and salsa verde.
