Slow Cooker Pernil Pork

Puerto Rican style pork roast, but done in the slow cooker. It's so tender and flavorful. Best of all, it's so easy to make!

Ingredients:
 4 cloves garlic
 1 large onion, quartered
 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
 1 tablespoon ground cumin
 2 teaspoons ground ancho chile pepper
 2 teaspoons salt
 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
 olive oil
 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
 1 (3 pound) boneless pork loin roast
 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions:
Place the garlic, onion, oregano, cumin, chile pepper, salt, and pepper into a blender. Pour in the olive oil and vinegar. Puree until smooth. Spread this mixture all over the pork loin, and place into a slow cooker.
Cook on Low until the pork is fork tender, 6 to 8 hours. When ready, cut the pork into chunks, or shred; garnish with lime wedges to serve.
