Shredded Pork

Shredded Pork

~Shredded Pork from How to Cook Everything

This recipe was tried quite awhile ago and I never got around to posting it, but I thought on this snow filled morning here in OKC it might be a good choice.  This was really an excellent way to prepare pork.  I was instantly surprised at the amount of flavor that was in each bite without any sauce included what so ever.  The choice of meat was a boneless pork shoulder and while that does not sound good, it is very tender and easy to cook.  The entire process takes about an hour or so after all the ingredients are prepared and it takes very little supervision.  This is the perfect choice for the Mexican food dinner you are looking to prepare.  I did not shred the meat per say as you can tell by the photo, but that was because it was so tender I thought it would be better served as cubes of pork.  This would fit nicely in tacos or carnitas.  For taste I would have to give this one a 10/10 and for preparation I would give it a 9/10 if one wants to leave it as cubes and probably an 8/10 if one tries to shred it.  The shredding takes more time and is actually harder than I anticipated, hence the cubes.  If anyone is interested in this recipe, please do not hesitate to let me know.  Have a great week!!

    are these the portion sizes you guys actually eat? I’d need at least double that I think! Especially when everything looks so good
