Brown the roast in a frying pan with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place the browned meat into the crock pot with about a teaspoon of cumin, more salt and pepper, and one orange (squeezed and then thrown in the pot). Cook the meat on low-med heat for about 8 hours.
Once it's done cooking, pull the meat apart with two forks - it should fall apart easily.
Heat olive oil on med. heat in a clean frying pan and fry the meat until it browns, but doesn't dry out.
