Garlicky Pulled Pork is a fantastic option for those seeking a low-carb meal. With just 2 grams of carbs per serving, this dish features tender pork butt infused with garlic and citrus juices. It’s ideal for meal prep or a comforting family dinner. The slow cooking process ensures the meat becomes tender and flavorful, making it a wonderful choice for your next weeknight dinner.

Instructions

  1. Using a paring knife, poke holes all over the pork.
  2. In a 6-quart slow cooker, add the onion and pork.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients to make a sauce. Pour over the meat, massaging it into the holes.
  4. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours. (If on high, turn the meat every hour or until until it’s tender and check that the thickest part reaches at least 145°F)
  5. Using forks, shred the meat and toss it with the sauce.
  6. Serve, or let cool for an hour and store in the fridge.
