This is a great recipe for using up leftover pork. I had some pulled pork from a barbecue and it worked perfectly in this dish.

I followed the recipe but added some chopped carrots and celery to the pot. It added a nice crunch and extra flavor.

I made this recipe exactly as written and it turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more garlic next time.
