Pulled Pork Recipe
Description
The Pulled Pork Recipe centers on a pork butt seasoned simply with kosher salt and liquid smoke before slow cooking. The long, low heat allows the meat to become tender and shreddable. Once cooked, the pork is shredded and combined with barbecue sauce, adding a tangy richness. This preparation results in juicy, flavorful pulled pork ideal for sandwich fillings.
The recipe suggests serving the pulled pork on hamburger buns accompanied by optional toppings such as coleslaw and pickles, which provide contrasting textures and flavors. Onion rings also make a complementary side, bringing crunch.
For alternative cooking, the pork can be roasted wrapped in foil at 350°F for five hours until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Leftovers store well refrigerated for 3-5 days or frozen for 2-3 months, making the dish convenient to prepare ahead for quick meals.
