See all
1 ½ tsp fine sea salt
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
6 cloves garlic, smashed
1 cup bone broth (homemade or aip-compliant brand)
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. It won't give the body or richness of bone broth, so it's best where broth is mainly a cooking liquid or flavor base.
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp coconut aminos
1 tbsp honey

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, combine the salt, turmeric, ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, thyme, and oregano. Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels, then rub the spice mixture evenly over all surfaces.
2
Heat the coconut oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork shoulder and sear, turning every 2–3 minutes, until deeply browned on all sides, about 10–12 minutes total. Transfer the pork to the slow cooker insert.
