Pulled Pork

While I am not a pork fan, my family is. They particularly enjoy the finer side of pulled pork. I personally could go without pork in my diet, but will on occasion cook pork dishes to appease the family. Recently I decided to try my hand at a pulled pork we could all enjoy (I have a hard time finding a barbecue sauce that does not make me ill).

Crock Pot Pulled Pork

Ingredients:

1 pork roast
1 large onion sliced
3 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp coriander
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp oregano
2 tsp sea salt

Directions:

1. Slice onion and layer the bottom of the crock pot.
2. Mix the dry ingredients together and rub onto the roast.
3. Place roast into crock pot. Cook on high for 6 hours or until roast falls apart when touched.
4. Shred and serve however you choose.

My family was very excited to have pulled pork sandwiches, until they opened the crock pot and noticed it was gooey like they thought it would be. I was dismayed. I had prepared a dish that I thought they would enjoy that I could also eat without issue. My intent was to eat it over rice with broccolette.

In the end, I pulled out what I was going to eat and they smothered the rest in barbecue sauce making it uneatable for myself. They enjoyed it though and have asked for it again. Next I know to pull out what I am going to eat first and then let it cook for a little longer to soak up the sauce.
