Cerdo Tropical Dulce a la Olla de Cocción Lenta

Ingredientes

• 2 pounds of pork tenderloin
• 2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce

Preparación

1. 1

   On a large plate, combine the salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and cinnamon. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork tenderloins.

2. 2

   Heat the oil over medium high heat in a large skillet. Add the pork and brown on all sides, 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the heat from the pan. Transfer the pork to the slow cooker.

3. 3

   Add ½ cup of water to the hot, now-empty pan and scrape any browned bits to deglaze. Pour the liquid into the slow-cooker. Add the brown sugar, garlic, and hot sauce. Combine and cook on low for 4-6 hours.

4. 4

   Shred the meat before serving and mix with the sauce. Season it with more salt, hot sauce and sugar if needed. I almost always add a little more salt. Enjoy!
