Citrus Free Maple Garlic Pulled Pork

Slow-braised pulled pork is one of those deeply satisfying dishes that fills the whole kitchen with an irresistible smell, and this version delivers serious depth of flavor without a single drop of citrus. Many pulled pork recipes lean on orange juice or lime to balance the richness of the meat, but here that job is handled beautifully by a combination of apple cider vinegar, pure maple syrup, and coconut aminos — giving you that same sweet-savory-tangy balance without any citrus at all. The pork shoulder gets rubbed down with turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon before being seared hard in coconut oil, building a caramelized crust that makes the whole braise taste like it came from a serious kitchen. After a long, low oven braise in bone broth and aromatics, the meat shreds into long, glossy strands that soak up every bit of the reduced sauce. It's the kind of meal that works just as well piled onto a plate with roasted vegetables as it does tucked into whatever wrap or bread fits your table. Fresh parsley at the end keeps things bright and pulls the whole dish together without any fuss.
