Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 (3 pound) boneless pork butt roast
• 1 (20 ounce) can unsweetened crushed pineapple in 100% pineapple juice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine pineapple, garlic, cumin, salt, red pepper flakes, and pepper in a bowl.

Step 2

Place pork roast into a slow cooker. Pour pineapple mixture over top. Cover and cook on Low until pork is slightly pink in the center and cooked through, about 8 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Step 3

Remove pork roast from the slow cooker. Cut away any fat, then shred meat using two forks. Return meat to the slow cooker and mix with the juices.
