Dinner tonight was so good I need to post NOW. Before Carolina Brothers, I was a tomato-based bbq fanatic. CB opened my eyes. This morning I plunked a pork shoulder in the crock pot. Came home to a pork-perfumed house, did some vinegar/spice magic et voila, deener eez served.
Quickie Recipe for Carolina-inspired Pulled Pork (exact measurements to follow, maybe):
- Place pork shoulder in crock pot before work/at the beginning of your day
- Pour about a half cup of water into the crock pot
- Turn to low, and be on your merry way for 8-10 hrs
- With tongs carefully remove pork from crock pot and set on a cutting board to cool
- Cut off fat and discard
- With two forks shred the meat
- In a bowl place meat, sprinkle with: paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, a little salt, sugar, cracked pepper, a dash of cayenne, and several splashes of cider vinegar
- Mix, taste, adjust, wait wait don’t eat it yet
- Add a splash of Italian dressing or hot sauce, OR BOTH… Dressing? Weird I know but it worked
- Nom away, I served mine with buttered cornbread, and overly mushy green beans (per request of the husband)
