Lupin Free Carolina Pulled Pork

Few things hit quite like a pile of slow-braised pulled pork that's been coaxed into tender, shreddable perfection over several hours in the oven. This version starts with a bone-in pork shoulder rubbed down with a warming blend of turmeric, ginger, thyme, oregano, and Ceylon cinnamon — a combination that smells incredible and builds serious depth of flavor before the meat even hits the heat. A hard sear in coconut oil locks in that golden crust, and then a braising liquid of apple cider vinegar, bone broth, and honey does the slow, patient work of making the pork fall-apart tender. The reduced pan sauce gets poured right back over the shredded meat, so every bite is juicy and coated in that tangy, slightly sweet glaze. For anyone navigating lupin sensitivities, this recipe is naturally free of the legume-derived flour that sneaks into so many spice blends, sauces, and processed meat products — every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. Finished with a scatter of fresh flat-leaf parsley, it's the kind of dish that looks and tastes like you spent all day on it, because honestly, you kind of did — and it's absolutely worth it.
