the ultimate crock pot dish...

This was by far the best crock pot dish I have ever made in my life! The meat was spicy and tender and absolutely delicious. I originally served the meat over Jasmine Rice sprinkled with cilantro and then on day 2, I served it in tortilla shells.  I actually made my own Adobo Seasoning which was wonderful and it was the first time I have ever made a rub.  (I have thought about giving some Adobo for gifts in mason jars as it was pretty and de...licious!) 
You must make this dish when you are in the mood for comfort food and it can be made the night before!  Just add the broth in the morning before you turn the crock pot on low and when you come home, you will smile when you inhale the amazing aroma filling your kitchen.  (Did you see that one serving is only 176 calories?  Are you kidding me!)

Ingredients:
2.5 lb pork shoulder blade roast, lean, all fat removed (I used Smithfield)
6 cloves garlic, cut into sliver
cumin
dry adobo seasoning (I used Goya)
garlic powder
3/4 cup 99% fat free chicken broth
2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (to taste)
2 bay leaves

Directions:

Season pork with salt and pepper. In a medium sauté pan on medium-high heat, brown pork on all sides for about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Using a sharp knife, insert blade into pork, cutting small holes and insert garlic slivers.
Season pork generously with cumin, adobo and garlic powder all over.
Pour chicken broth in the crock pot, add bay leaves and chipotle peppers.
Place pork in crock pot and cover.
Cook low for 8 hours. After 8 hours,shred pork using two forks and combine well with the juices that accumulated at the bottom.
Remove bay leaves and adjust salt and cumin (you will probably need to add more). Let it cook another 15-30 minutes.
