Whole 30 Whole30 Smoky Paprika Pulled Pork Breakfast Hash
Breakfast hash done right is one of those meals that genuinely satisfies at any hour, and this smoky, spiced version delivers on every level. Pork shoulder gets rubbed with smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne, and garlic powder, then seared hard and braised until it shreds into tender, flavor-packed pieces — the kind of pulled pork that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. Golden sweet potato cubes, soft yellow onion, and red bell pepper form the base of the hash, picking up crispy edges in the same skillet before the pork gets folded back in. Every single ingredient here — the spices, the chicken broth, the olive oil, the vegetables — is compliant with Whole30 guidelines, so there's no label-reading stress or ingredient swaps required. Fried eggs go right on top, and a hit of hot sauce ties the whole thing together if you're into a little extra heat. It serves four, making it a solid option for meal prep or a weekend brunch that actually keeps everyone full. Fresh parsley at the end adds a bright finish that cuts through all that rich, smoky depth beautifully.
