Instructions
Jacked Up Pork Tacos
- Place the pork roast in a large leak-proof container. Mix the remaining ingredients, then pour the marinating liquid over the roast. Refrigerate to marinate overnight.
- In the morning, place the pork and the marinating liquid in a crockpot. Start on high, then reduce heat to low for 6 - 8 hours. Two hours prior to serving, increase the heat to high so that the meat is fork tender and falling off of the bone.
- Place on a board and separate the meat from bone and fat. Shred to big bites, re-season with salt and pepper, and keep hot until serving.
- To plate individual servings, pour a puddle of Whiskey Sour broth in the bottom of the plate. Place a large serving of Jacked Up Pork on the plate, then top with the Pickled Slaw. Serve with spicy beans, cotija cheese and a warmed flour tortilla. A Jack and Coke cocktail on the side is a perfect pairing.
Pickled Slaw
- Place the vegetables in a pot of boiling salted water and blanch for 1 minute. Drain and place them in a glass container. Mix the remaining ingredients for the pickling liquid. Cover the vegetables with the liquid. Let stand at room temperature for 2 hours. Refrigerate until served.
Whiskey Sour Broth
- Heat oil in a skillet and add the garlic. Sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes until tender. Remove the pan from the fire and carefully pour the whiskey in the pan to deglaze. Place back over medium heat and add the cooking liquid. Heat through and reduce by half. Finish with the lemon juice. Strain the broth before serving.
