SPICY CAROLINA STYLE PULLED PORK (IN CROCK POT) RECIPE
i made this last week, my first attempt at pulled pork, and it was a winner. i had a spicy carolina style pp sandwich at a native american festival, and got into a chat with the cooks. this was the recipe, from what i can recall as it was told to me. by the way, this is by no means a low fat dish. trying to make it low fat will just not be the same. please enjoy it the way it was meant to be. pork fat rules!

Tips
Selecting the right cut of pork:
- For succulent Carolina-style pulled pork, select pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) or pork loin. These cuts have adequate marbling to withstand extended cooking and produce fall-apart tender meat.
Preparing the pork:
- Trim excess fat from the pork, leaving a thin layer for flavor and moisture.
- Season the pork generously with a flavorful rub. The rub typically includes paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. For a spicy kick, add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
Cooking the pork:
- Sear the pork in a hot skillet until browned on all sides. This step is optional but adds a nice caramelized crust to the meat.
- Transfer the pork to a slow cooker. Add liquid, such as apple cider vinegar, chicken broth, or beer, to prevent the meat from drying out during cooking.
- Cook the pork on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-6 hours. During this time, the pork should become fall-apart tender and easily shredded.
Shredding the pork:
- Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Use two forks to shred the pork into bite-sized pieces. Discard any large pieces of fat.
Serving the pulled pork:
- Serve the pulled pork with classic sides like coleslaw, baked beans, and potato salad.
- You can also use the pulled pork to make sandwiches, tacos, or burritos.
Conclusion
With its smoky, spicy, and tangy flavor profile, Carolina-style pulled pork is a true Southern delicacy. Whether you enjoy it as a standalone dish or incorporate it into other culinary creations, this flavorful meat is sure to tantalize your taste buds. So, fire up your slow cooker and get ready to savor the succulent goodness of Carolina-style pulled pork!
