One meal that Mike has recently introduced to me was Everyday Paleo’s “Beyond Easy Pulled Pork” recipe.
The photo above was taken from our kitchen after about 12 hours of cooktime in our slow cooker (so about 7:30pm). The onions had caramelized, the seasoning gives a good kick to a dish that has NO SALT ADDED. The original recipe includes it, but we find it is not needed so we go without it. This recipe is great. We are big fans of dry rubs when we cook meat and this dish was no exception.
Please find the recipe below:
Beyond Easy Pulled Pork
4-5 lb pork butt roast
2 yellow onions, slicedDry Rub:
3 tbsps chili powder
1 tsp coriander
2 tsps cumin
2 tsps onion powder
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon chipotle powderMix all dry rub ingredients together. Rub the entire roast with the dry rub (you should use it all.) Place a layer of onions on the bottom of your slow cooker. Place the roast on top. Put the rest of the sliced onions on top of the slow cooker. NO LIQUID NECESSARY! Cook the roast on high for 5-6 hours and then turn down to low for another 3-4 hours or until the roast is literally falling apart and easy to shred.
It really does fall apart. I ate mine with some pasta the other night (as Italians would with Pappardelle al Ragu Di Cinghiale) and it was wonderful. I used carrots as a side as it helps clean my palate (and teeth) after all of the meat. I often have a spinach salad with it, too.
Being on Paleo is perfect for M. Due to his profession, he needs to be in top physical shape and he burns over 2000 calories a day. He is 9% bodyfat and has to maintain that physique. For him, a book called The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet by Robb Wolf is what helped motivate him to eat a bit better and be more aware of removing processed foods from his diet.
M and I may post other recipes from other sources as we come across them.

It is yum! Super yummy goodness!
That looks delicious, but I'm a vegetarian. However, I bet my husband would love it if I made that for him. 🙂
I know your husband would love it! The seasoning and softness of the meat is wonderful, and it makes enough to last all week. It is great on it's own, or over pasta (not Paleo-friendly, that pasta ha!), on a bun, or any other way you can think of!
wow great recipe thanks so much for stopping by and comment!!
