Slow-Cooker Pulled Pork Recipe

8 servings 

Ingredients for Slow-Cooker Pulled Pork:

• 4 pounds pork shoulder or pork butt (or choose pork tenderloin if you prefer less fat) 
• 4 T smoked paprika 
• 2 T sea salt
• 2 T chili powder 
• 2 T ground cumin 
• 1 T ground black pepper 
• 1 T dried oregano 
• 1 T ground white pepper 
• 2 t cayenne pepper (or cayenne to taste) 
• BBQ sauce (recipe below) 

Instructions: 

1. Make the spice rub by mixing all the seasonings in a bowl.  
2. Bring the pork to room temperature and rub the spice mix into the meat. 
3. Place pork into a baggie and roll to wrap tightly. Refrigerate a minimum of 3 hours to overnight. 
4. When ready to cook, remove the pork from the baggie and place it in the slow-cooker/crock pot. Add ¼ cup water or chicken stock. Cook on low 8-10 hours until fork tender.  
5. Transfer meat to a cutting board. 
6. Shred the meat with a fork then place it back into the crock pot with the juices.   
7. Add BBQ sauce of choice.  We like Primal Kitchen Golden BBQ or Hawaiian BBQ sauce. Or make your own (recipe follows).  
8. Serve any way you like (in a power bowl with rice and veggies or a cassava tortilla or lettuce wrap) and enjoy!
