Wheat Free Citrus & Herb Pulled Pork

Slow-braised pulled pork is already a crowd-pleaser, but this citrus-forward version takes things to a completely different level. The pork shoulder gets rubbed down with turmeric, ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, oregano, and thyme before being seared in coconut oil until deeply caramelized — that crust is where so much of the flavor lives. From there, it braises low and slow in a fragrant bath of fresh orange juice, lime juice, bone broth, coconut aminos, and honey, which means every shred of meat is infused with bright, tangy, subtly sweet depth. Coconut aminos do the heavy lifting in place of soy sauce, delivering that savory umami punch without any wheat or gluten concerns — and they're worth keeping in your pantry permanently. The finishing move is a quick blast under the broiler, which crisps the edges into irresistible little caramelized bits that make the whole dish feel almost carnitas-like. Serve it over rice, tucked into lettuce cups, or honestly just straight off the pan with a squeeze of lime and a handful of fresh cilantro. It's the kind of recipe that makes a big batch feel like a very good idea.
