Walnut Free Coconut Aminos & Ginger Pulled Pork

Slow-cooked pork shoulder doesn't get much more satisfying than this — deeply savory, tender enough to fall apart with two forks, and layered with warm ginger, garlic, and turmeric in every bite. The braising liquid is where the magic happens: coconut aminos bring that rich, umami depth you'd expect from a soy-based sauce, while apple cider vinegar and honey balance everything out with a subtle sweet-tart edge. Searing the pork first builds a gorgeous crust that locks in flavor before the slow cooker does its low-and-slow work over eight hours. Fresh grated ginger in the braise (on top of the ground ginger in the dry rub) means the warmth is layered and bright rather than one-note. Every ingredient here is straightforward and tree-nut-free by nature, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out — just cook with confidence. Finish it with scallions and cilantro for a pop of freshness, and you've got a crowd-pleasing centerpiece that works just as well over rice as it does stuffed into lettuce cups.
