Ingredients
Original recipe makes 2 1/2 pounds

- 1 large white onion, quartered
- 6 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed

- Place the pork shoulder, oranges, onion, garlic, kosher salt, cumin, black peppercorns, and bay leaves into a large Dutch oven. Add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes. Skim off any foam that rises to the top.
