Notes
Many people like to marinate the pork in the adobo overnight. I prefer to brown and sear my pork for more flavor and then add the adobo.
Slow Cooker Recipe- Follow the instructions. But instead of pressure cooker, you will add the banana leaves, water, seared pork and adobo to the slow cooker. Cover with banana leaves and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until pork is very tender.
