Slow cooker orange-lime pork. This orange-lime pork recipe is perfect for dinner, and it’s so easy. It requires just a few minutes of prep and pairs beautifully with rice, beans, or plantains.
Benefits of Using a Slow Cooker
Slow cookers are a great way to make dinner for your family in the evening. You can put the ingredients in before work and come home to a delicious meal. You don’t need to worry about overcooking or burning dinner because the slow cooker will keep it warm until you’re ready to eat.
A slow cooker is not just for dinner, though. It’s also great for making soups and stews, perfecting your favorite roast recipe, and even making desserts like caramel apples and bread pudding!
What is the Orange-Lime Pork Recipe?
Orange-Lime Pork Recipe is a dish that is prepared with pork, orange juice, lime juice, and spices.
What can be served with this orange-lime pork?
This dish is perfect for a summer BBQ. It features a citrusy, tart marinade – and the pork is cooked in the slow cooker so it’s tender and juicy.
Pork shoulder is perfect for this recipe because it has lots of fat and connective tissue that will break down as it cooks. You can use any cut of pork that you like, but I recommend using one from the shoulder or butt area. The pork should have a fair amount of fat on it for this recipe to work well.
This dish is also great served with grilled corn on the cob or grilled pineapple rings (or both!). If you want to make your own barbecue sauce, I recommend using my homemade barbecue sauce recipe – which can be found here: BBQ Sauce
