Slow-braised pulled pork is one of those deeply satisfying dishes that fills the whole kitchen with an irresistible aroma, and this version takes things up a notch with fragrant rosemary, warm spices, and a braising liquid built on pomegranate juice and apple cider vinegar. The result is fork-tender, juicy pork with a subtle tang and a hint of sweetness from a touch of honey — complex enough to feel special, but completely approachable to make. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from oats and oat-derived products, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden grain fillers sneaking into your meal. The pork shoulder gets a serious sear in coconut oil before it ever hits the oven, building a caramelized crust that locks in flavor and gives the finished shreds that gorgeous depth. Bone broth and pomegranate juice do the heavy lifting in the braise, keeping the meat incredibly moist while the Ceylon cinnamon, turmeric, and ginger add a warmly spiced backbone that feels anything but ordinary. Once it's done, you simply shred, toss it back into those rich pan juices, and serve — no complicated finishing steps required. It's the kind of low-effort, high-reward centerpiece that works just as well for a weeknight dinner as it does for feeding a crowd.

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Pat the pork shoulder completely dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the salt, chopped rosemary, turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork, pressing it into any crevices.
Heat the coconut oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork shoulder and sear, turning with tongs every 3–4 minutes, until deeply browned on all sides, about 12–15 minutes total. Transfer the pork to a plate.
