Spicy Pulled Pork

Spicy Pulled Pork

Ingredients:
1 free-range, organic pork shoulder or butt roast, about 5-6 pounds
3 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
1 cup Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
Prepare dry rub by combining the paprika, garlic powder and dry mustard in a
bowl.
Rub the pork roast with the spice rub and put in the refrigerator for the flavors
to penetrate the meat for a minimum of 1 hour, or overnight for best results. If
marinating only for 1 or 2 hours, leave the roast at room temperature.
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
Put the marinated pork shoulder or butt in the oven on a baking pan for
approximately 6 hours, until the meat is falling off the fork.
Prepare the sauce by mixing the apple cider vinegar, ketchup, mustard, garlic,
cayenne pepper and black pepper in a small pot or saucepan.
Smoothly bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and simmer for
approximately 10 minutes.
When the pork roast is ready, remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
Pull the meat apart from the roast with two forks.
Combine the spicy sauce with the pulled pork and serve with your favorite side
of salad.
Cilantro Pork Stir-fry
Serves 2
Cilantro and pork go extremely well together. We tend to forget about that herb,
but it’s given the head position here. The lime juice added near the end also
support the taste of the cilantro and adds a very unique taste to this stir-fry.
