1.5 pounds pork shoulder cut in half, fat cut off.
3C lightly salted water
1/2 onion
2 cloves ( insert in onion )
2 Cloves of peeled garlic
5 Peppercorns
1/2 t whole cumin
pinch of oregano..... Now here is where it gets "good"
Place meat in a sauce pan ( you know trouble is ahead ) Cover with the water and all dry ingredients. Bring to a BOIL. Skim the fat. Cover the pan and cover it. Simmer, not boil, for 45 minutes.
Cut meat in 2 inch chunks. Fit your food processor with the plastic pastry blade. Placing a few chucks in at a time, pulse until meat is shredded to your liking.....
This recipe will never be to my liking
