Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg (2.2 lb) (2.2 lbs) pork shoulder or loin
  • 1 cup (240 ml) chicken broth
  • 4 tbsp (60 ml) sugar-free tomato sauce
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) garlic paste
  • 4 tbsp (60 ml) soy sauce or tamari
  • 5 drops liquid sweetener, or to taste
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) ginger paste
  • 1 tsp (5 g / 0.18 oz) smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • for Perfect Pulled Pork
  • For a deeper, richer flavor, sear the pork shoulder on all sides in a hot, oiled skillet before adding it to the slow cooker.
  • Pork shoulder (also called pork butt) is highly recommended over loin for this recipe. Its higher fat content ensures a more tender and juicy result after the long cooking time.
  • This recipe is perfect for meal prep! The flavors meld and become even more delicious overnight. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Place the pork shoulder in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, tomato sauce, tomato paste, garlic paste, soy sauce, liquid sweetener, ginger paste, and smoked paprika until smooth.
  4. Pour the sauce over and around the pork.
  5. Secure the lid and cook on LOW for 7 hours, or until the pork is exceptionally tender and falls apart with a gentle nudge from a fork.
  6. Carefully remove the pork from the slow cooker and place it on a large plate or cutting board.
  7. Using two forks, shred the meat, discarding any large pieces of fat if desired.
  8. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and toss it thoroughly with the sauce. For a thicker sauce, you can cook with the lid off on the HIGH setting for 30-60 minutes, or serve immediately for a wonderfully juicy result.
