Lactose Free Maple Garlic Pulled Pork

Slow-braised pulled pork is one of those dishes that fills the whole house with an irresistible smell before you've even sat down to eat. This version builds deep, complex flavor through a spice rub of turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon, then braises low and slow in a glossy sauce of pure maple syrup, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and bone broth. Every single ingredient is naturally free of dairy, so there's no swapping or substituting required — it just works as written. The pork shoulder gets seared in coconut oil until deeply browned, which locks in richness before the long, gentle oven braise does its magic over three and a half to four hours. By the time it's done, the meat shreds effortlessly into long, saucy strands that practically melt on contact. The braising liquid gets reduced into a sticky, savory-sweet glaze that coats every bite, making this just as satisfying as any barbecue joint version — without a drop of butter or cream in sight. A handful of fresh parsley at the end keeps things bright and pulls the whole plate together beautifully.
