Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a large skillet over high heat heat the oil. Season the pork with salt and pepper; add the pork to the skillet; sear on all sides until browned (15 minutes). After 10 minutes add the garlic cloves; turning every once in a while.
Step 2
Transfer pork to slow cooker and return skillet to high heat. Add 1 cup of broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer; scraping the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Pour liquid over the pork in the slow cooker. Add 2 cups of broth to slow cooker. I added one clove of black cardamom to the slow cooker. Cook for 9-10 hours on low or until pork starts to fall apart.
Step 3
Let pork rest for 20 minutes and then using a slotted spoon scoop out the garlic and any other spices and discard.
Step 4
Shred pork with two forks; moisten meat with juices from slow cooker.
Step 5
Serve on buns with your favorite toppings - in my house we added barbecue sauce.
