Ingredients
  

  • Lime Aioli:
  • 2 pasteurized egg yolks
  • 1 lime zest and juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ c extra virgin olive oil
  • Pork Tacos:
  • 2-1/4 lb sirloin pork roast fat cap trimmed to ¼ inch

  • ½ t thyme
  • ¾ c pineapple juice

Method
 

  1. Make the lime aioli by mixing together the eggs, lime zest and juice, salt, and garlic in a food processor. With the machine running slowly stream in olive oil until the mixture thickens to a mayo like consistency.
  2. Season the pork roast with the Jamaican jerk seasoning and the thyme. Place in the slow cooker. Cook over low heat for 8 hours.
  3. Remove from the slow cooker and shred the pork. Squeeze on the juice of 1-2 limes (to taste) and if desired add a little of the cooking liquid.
  4. If making tacos, serve with warmed flour tortillas, lime aioli, mango, red onion and lettuce.
  5. Save the leftovers for sandwiches, pizza, or quesadillas.
