Wheat Free Rosemary & Apple Cider Pulled Pork

Slow-braised pulled pork is the kind of dish that fills your whole kitchen with an aroma so good people start wandering in asking when dinner is ready. This version layers fresh rosemary, warm turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon into a dry rub that gets pressed deep into the meat before a hard sear in coconut oil builds a gorgeous, caramelized crust. The braising liquid — pomegranate juice, apple cider vinegar, bone broth, and a touch of honey — is completely free of any grain-based thickeners or soy sauce, so every ingredient is naturally safe for anyone avoiding wheat without any substitutions required. That tangy, slightly sweet liquid does all the heavy lifting in the oven, keeping the pork shoulder impossibly moist as it slowly breaks down over several hours. When it hits 195°F and shreds apart with almost no effort, you toss it back into those concentrated juices and the whole thing comes together in the most satisfying way. It works beautifully piled onto rice, tucked into lettuce wraps, or served straight from the pot with whatever sides you love. This is the kind of recipe that earns a permanent spot in your rotation.
