Celery Free Citrus & Herb Pulled Pork

Slow-braised pulled pork gets a bright, citrus-forward makeover here, built on a foundation of fresh orange and lime juice, bone broth, coconut aminos, and warm spices like turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon. The pork shoulder is seared until deeply browned, then low-and-slow braised in that fragrant liquid until it practically falls apart on its own — no celery, no celery seed, and no hidden vegetable blends to second-guess. For anyone navigating a celery intolerance or allergy, this kind of slow-cooked comfort food can be a minefield in restaurants and store-bought sauces, but every ingredient here is clean and straightforward. After shredding, the meat goes back under the broiler so the edges caramelize and crisp up, giving you that irresistible contrast of tender interior and slightly charred, saucy bits. A finishing hit of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime pulls the whole dish together with a pop of freshness. Serve it over rice, tucked into warm tortillas, or piled onto a bun — it's the kind of recipe that disappears fast no matter how you plate it.
