Paleo Crockpot BBQ Pulled Pork

Ingredients

• 5 lb. boneless pork shoulder
• 1 Tbsp. smoked paprika
• 3 Tbsp. garlic powder
• 3 Tbsp. onion powder
• 2 Tbsp. fresh cracked black pepper
• 2 Tbsp. Pink Himalayan Salt
• 3 Tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1/2 cup bone broth (chicken broth will work, but bone broth is so much better)
• 1 1/2 to 2 cups Paleo BBQ Sauce (see below for recipe I used)

Directions

 

Using cold water, rinse pork and pat dry with paper towels.  Combine all dry seasonings and rub pork until completely covered. 

 

Place seasoned pork shoulder into the Crockpot with the fat side up (fat will drip into the meat this way). Pour in bone broth and add Apple Cider Vinegar.  I cooked on low for 10 hours.  Occasionally, when I passed the Crockpot, I would spoon the juices over the meat.  When done, my pork was extremely easy to shred with two forks. 

Once shredded, add BBQ sauce and pork back to the remaining juices in the Crockpot.  My Crockpot has a "Warm" feature, so I just let the meat and sauce warm together for a while, then served the family.

We served on large Romaine lettuce leaves and topped with purple onion and avocado slices.  YUM!
