💭 Recipe Tips

• Choose The Right Cut. Choose a pork shoulder with enough fat and connective tissue to make moist, delicious pulled pork.
• Spice It Up. You can change how spicy the dish is by adding more or less paprika, chili powder, or cayenne pepper.
• Don’t Rush The Cooking Process. Slow-cook the pork shoulder at a low temperature for several hours to get the softness you want and ensure the meat comes apart easily.
• Adjust The Thickness Of The Sauce. If the sauce is too thin, you can lessen and thicken it by letting it simmer on the stove. On the other hand, if it’s too thick, add a splash of water or broth to thin it out.
• Don’t Forget The Resting Time. Let the pulled pork sit for a few minutes after cooking before slicing it. This lets the flavors settle and makes sure the end product is moist.
