Slow Cooked Cuban Pulled Pork

This pork was amazing.  Juicy, tender and the flavor was just perfect.  Serve it on your favorite baguette ~ be sure to toast it up with some butter first ~ with some lettuce, cilantro, caramelized onions, mayo and maybe even some pickles if you're really adventurous.  Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

  1. Yum! Our Kroger just had BOGO on pork roasts this week, and I grabbed two. Think they would work for this?
