Pulled Pork

This recipe was AH-Mazing! 

I made it back in March when it was still chilly outside. I'm a little behind on the blog, don't judge me! 

I pulled the recipe from two separate sources. The slow cooked pork recipe, I've been using for year's, is a variation of my mom's: 

Serves 8-10 

Ingredients

Pulled pork ingredients

• 1 pork shoulder or butt roast, about 5-6 lbs
• 3 tbsp paprika
• 1 tsp fresh sage
• 3 cloves chopped garlic
• 1 tbsp dry mustard
• 1 medium size onion diced in larger slices
• 1 bay leaf
• Dash of pepper

1. Prepare the dry rub by combining the paprika, sage, mustard, pepper and chopped garlic in a bowl.
2. Rub the pork roast all over with the spice rub. If you have time, you can place in the refrigerator for the flavors to penetrate the meat for a minimum of 1 hour, but up to overnight. If I don't have the time, I'll just place immediately into slow cooker on high for 3 hours, then low for 2 hours. 
3. I typically add a little water, or chicken broth in the bottom of the slow cooker so nothing sticks, place your chopped onions (sometimes I'll add mushrooms too) around the pork. Once these start to simmer, they will help with flavoring the meat. 
4. While pork is cooking, make your sauce from the recipe below. 
5. Once pork is cooked, pull apart with two forks and allow to simmer in the sauce for another hour.

BBQ Sauce ingredients

The Paleo BBQ sauce (zesty, just the way I like it) I grabbed from "Son of Grok".

It did not disappoint! Good BBQ is all about the sauce. I paired with a side of sauteed Kale. Yummo.
