Ingredients
Method
Season pork with salt and pepper; set aside.
Heat oil in a large pot over high heat.
Add pork in batches so as not to crowd the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer pork to a large plate as done.
Discard all but 1 tablespoon fat from pot.
Reduce heat to medium low and add white onions.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, about 4 minutes.
Add garlic and bay leaves and continue stirring until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Return pork to pot and add orange juice, lime juice and 1/4 cup of the vinegar.
Bring to a simmer and season with salt and pepper.
Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until pork is very tender and can be easily pulled into shreds.
Meanwhile, separate red onion slices into rings in a large bowl and season with salt.
Let stand for about 10 minutes, then toss with remaining 1/4 cup vinegar and oregano.
Set aside for another 30 minutes.
Discard bay leaves, then serve warm pork with pickled onions.
