Serves 8
Print
This paleo and gluten and diary free pulled pork recipe trades the grill for the convenience of the slow cooker. Note that you will need to make a batch of our Beasty BBQ Sauce for this recipe.
Ingredients
4 tablespoons smoked paprika
2 tablespoons sea salt
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon ground white pepper
2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 pounds bone-in pork shoulder
¼ cup water
1 full batch of Beasty BBQ Sauce (see related recipe)
Directions
Mix all the spices in a small bowl to make a spice rub. Massage the spice rub all over the meat, working it into every crevice.
Double-wrap the meat tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight. You can refrigerate this for up to three days.
Unwrap the roast and place it in a slow cooker. Add ¼ cup of water, turn the slow cooker on low and cook for 8 to 10 hours until the meat is fork-tender.
Transfer the roast to a cutting board and discard all the liquid in the slow cooker. Pull the meat apart by tearing it into thin shreds with two forks or your fingers.
Place all the shredded meat back in the slow cooker and toss with Beasty BBQ Sauce. Heat on low for 60 minutes until hot and serve.
