Dairy Free Maple Garlic Pulled Pork

Slow-braised pulled pork is the kind of meal that fills the whole house with an aroma so good people start wandering into the kitchen hours before dinner is ready. This version gets its depth from a spice rub of turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon before the pork shoulder is seared hard in coconut oil until every side is deeply caramelized. The braising liquid — pure maple syrup, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and bone broth — builds a glossy, savory-sweet sauce that soaks into every strand of meat as it slow-roasts low and slow in the oven. Because the entire recipe leans on whole-food ingredients, there's no butter, cream, or hidden dairy to worry about, which can be a real challenge with saucy, slow-cooked dishes that often sneak in dairy-based thickeners. After a long braise, the pork shreds effortlessly and gets tossed back into the reduced sauce until it's sticky, tender, and completely coated. A handful of fresh parsley at the end cuts through the richness and makes the whole pot look as good as it tastes. Pile it over rice, stuff it into lettuce cups, or just eat it straight from the Dutch oven — no judgment here.
