You can start this dish in the morning or throw it together before bed. You want to start with a good-sized boneless pork shoulder for maximum amino acids, leave it a little fatty for flavor and rub it down with your kosher salt, pepper, dried oregano, and cumin. You want it to be totally coated in these aromatic herbs, so the juices combine with the chicken broth to produce a heavenly infusion.
Traditionally served with plantain, rice, or taco shells, this low-carb version of the Cuban bowl ramps up the salad and offers lettuce, radish, and pickle for crunch. Radishes are a power vegetable with vitamins K, B6, E, A, and C. They include fiber, zinc, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, calcium, iron, and manganese, and are high in antioxidants.
Top this extraordinary flavor-packed meal with jalapenos for their metabolism-boosting, increased fat burn, and anti-inflammatory properties. Add a few slices of fresh lime for color and impress your guests or your family with this easy, slow cooker Keto treat.

Awesome thank you RuledMe 👍
Thank you! 😁
Thanks for that, I’m cuban
It looks delish! I’ll file it away for later. I was expecting something that was truly a hands off, crockpot recipe. You know I love you, but this doesn’t quite fit that description. I was thinking I would avoid the oven!
That’s fair! You can skip the oven step if you want to be honest. Just shred directly in the crockpot and let the pork soak up some of the juice. Once you do that, mix the toppings in when you serve 😊
This looks soooo good! I can’t wait to try it! Thank you for all of your delicious recipes!😊
Thank you so much! I hope you love it when you do get a chance to try it 😁
Thank you. This looks delicious, what could I replace the orange juice with?
Glad you think so! Orange juice is pretty important for the flavor of the pork. If I HAD to replace it, I’d use something like lemon juice or a bit of vinegar, or just add some extra lime juice. A fresh orange should be quite cheap to buy, about 40-50 cents, and you only need 1/2 of one to juice it.
If you do end up buying the orange, I can recommend trying out this recipe with the other half that would be leftover: https://www.ruled.me/thai-style-low-carb-peanut-chicken/
Orange juice 🤔
Yes, a whopping 2 tablespoons of orange juice between 6 servings. Comes out to be 0.5g net carbs for the orange juice per serving (and you don’t use all of the leftover juices in the slow cooker).
