PULLED PORK WEEK SERIES: My 3-Ingredient Pulled Pork Recipe

​Trust me on this one, pulled pork is the easiest meal to make and it feeds an army. I use the whole pork shoulder cut, which is the cut above the picnic. It comes with a blade that provides extra flavor. Unfortunately, this cut is extremely fatty; however, in my directions you will discover that I remove a great deal of the fat and later replace some of it with a healthier fat, my basting oil which primary ingredient is olive oil. BONUS: TOMORROW RECIPE- PULLED PORK STUFFED PLANTAINS

Approximate Preparation Time:  Season the pork the day before
Approximate Cooking time: 7-8 hours (remember, it cooks at a low temperature for a long time)
Approximate Total Cost: $18.14 (or $1.07/serving)
Servings: 17

Ingredients

1- 9lb. Whole Pork Shoulder Blade Roast (a 9 1/2 lb. Pack cost me $14.39)
1/2 to 3/4 cups of Angie's Basting Oil (see the recipe below) ($2.00)
1/4 to 1/2 cup of Angie's Dry Seasoning (provided in a prior post, below is the link) ($1.75)

These are all the ingredients that you will need to make this meal.

Directions

Start by removing as much fat as you can from the pork. (I removed approx. 2 lb.).
Place the clean pork in a foil pan or the pan of your choice that is not shallow.
Add the basting oil and the seasoning and rub well throughout. Let it rest overnight.
Roast at 280-to 300 degrees, the hours will depend on the weight of the cut, about 1 hour/pound. Since after removing the fat I ended up with approx. 7lb. I cooked my pork for 7 hours. The lower temperature or brazing is what does the magic. 

HACK: This pork goes perfectly with corn on the cob, boiled potatoes with pesto and yellow rice. I did not figure these other ingredients in the cost because you may decide to use the pulled pork in Sandwiches, or in my case for other meal combinations.
