Citrus-chile Pork With Herb Sauce
  1. In a food processor or food chopper, mince the garlic and jalapeños; remove half to use later for the sauce.

  2. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, cumin, oregano and salt and process to mix.

  3. Trim extra fat layer from the roast.

  4. Place the roast in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker.

  5. Rub the olive oil mixture all over the roast — make sure the whole roast is covered.

  6. Place the orange and lime quarters on top of and around the roast, then cover tightly.

  7. Cook on low heat for 6 hours.

  8. When the pork is tender, transfer to a cutting board, reserving the juices and the citrus quarters for the sauce.

  9. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting; keep warm while you make the sauce.

  10. To make the sauce, place the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a small pot and place over medium-high heat.

  11. Add the reserved garlic and jalapeño mince and saute for about 1 minute.

  12. Squeeze the reserved orange and lime into the pot, using a strainer to catch any seeds.

  13. Pour in the reserved roast juices.

  14. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes to thicken slightly.

  15. Add the scallions and cilantro and simmer on low for 1 minute.

  16. Remove the bone, then slice the pork and serve it on a bed of rice, drizzled with the citrus sauce.
