Suggest a better descriptionMelt the lard in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the pork all over with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Sear the meat on all sides, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer the meat and juices to the insert of a slow cooker along with 1/2 tablespoon salt, the peppercorns, and bay leaves. Quarter one of the onions and add to the slow cooker with the garlic cloves. Cover the slow cooker and cook on high until the meat is very tender and falling apart, about 3 1/2 hours.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pork to a cutting board. Discard the onion and garlic. Cool slightly. Using your fingers, shred the pork. Transfer the carnitas to a platter.
Slice the remaining onion. Serve the carnitas with warm tortillas, the salsa, sliced onion, and cilantro for making soft tacos.
