Slow-cooked pulled pork is one of those deeply satisfying meals that feels like it took serious effort — but your crockpot does almost all the work. The pork shoulder gets rubbed down with a warming blend of turmeric, ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, thyme, and oregano before a quick sear locks in a gorgeous crust, and then it braises low and slow in bone broth, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, and a touch of honey until it practically falls apart on its own. Coconut aminos stand in beautifully for soy sauce here, delivering that savory, slightly sweet depth without any grain-based ingredients sneaking in. For anyone navigating wheat-free eating, this is the kind of recipe that proves you're not giving anything up — the flavors are bold, layered, and completely satisfying on their own terms. Once the pork hits 195°F and the collagen has broken down, shredding it is almost meditative, and stirring it back into those fragrant juices takes it over the top. Pile it over rice, tuck it into lettuce wraps, or serve it straight from the slow cooker with a scatter of fresh parsley — however you go, it disappears fast.
