Soy Free Citrus & Herb Pulled Pork

Pulled pork this fragrant and deeply flavored is the kind of dish that makes your whole kitchen smell incredible for hours. A bold spice rub of turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon gets pressed into a bone-in pork shoulder before it's seared hard in coconut oil — that crust is where so much of the flavor lives. The braise itself is built on fresh orange and lime juice, bone broth, and coconut aminos, which deliver that savory, slightly sweet depth you'd expect from a long-cooked braise without a drop of soy in sight. Coconut aminos do a lot of heavy lifting here, standing in seamlessly for soy sauce and keeping the whole dish completely free of that common allergen. After a low, slow oven braise, the pork gets shredded and spread onto a baking sheet, then hit under a high broiler until the edges caramelize and crisp — that final step is what takes it from good to genuinely unforgettable. Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime and you've got something that works just as well piled onto rice as it does stuffed into tacos or eaten straight off the pan.
