# Prep. Preheat oven to 350F.
# In large pot over medium, add oil and heat until shimmering. Add pork shoulder and bacon until browned and bacon is starting to render its fat.
# Add pepper, cumin, chile, oregano, salt, bay leaf, water (about half way up the pork). Bring to a boil. Place, uncovered, in oven.
# Cook, turning every 30 min, until tender and shreds easily (2 hr).
