Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 ea fresh yellow onions sliced
  • 1/3 cup turbinado sugar
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, 3 to 6 minutes.

  • Place pork in a 4-quart (or larger) slow cooker and cover with the sauce. Cover and cook until the pork is almost falling apart, about 4 hours on High or 8 hours on Low.
  • Transfer the pork to a cutting board and shred using two forks. Stir back into the sauce.
