Seed Oil Free Citrus & Herb Pulled Pork

Slow-braised pulled pork is already a crowd-pleaser, but this version takes it somewhere genuinely special — fragrant with turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon, then braised low and slow in a bath of fresh orange juice, lime, bone broth, and coconut aminos until it practically falls apart on its own. The whole thing comes together in a Dutch oven, so the flavors concentrate and deepen in a way that's hard to replicate any other way. Coconut oil handles the searing duties here, which means every step from start to finish stays completely free of industrial vegetable and seed oils — no canola, no soybean oil, nothing hiding in the braising liquid either. After a long braise, the pork gets shredded and slid under the broiler, where the edges caramelize and crisp into something almost addictive. That final broil step is the move — it transforms tender, juicy meat into something with real texture and depth. A squeeze of fresh lime and a handful of cilantro over the top keeps it bright and lively against all that richness. This is the kind of recipe that makes a big batch feel like a very good idea.
