- Place pork on cutting board and cut as desired, or use fork or hands to pull meat apart. Transfer to large bowl.
- If desired, use large spoon to skim fat off sauce.
- Remove bay leaves and orange zest and carefully transfer sauce and vegetables to blender. Blend on high speed until smooth. Pour half of sauce over pork and toss to coat.
