Ingredients
- 3 lbs Pork shoulder roast
- 4 medium Sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 large Onion, diced
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the pork shoulder roast with salt, pepper, and paprika, then sear it in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until browned.
Transfer the seared pork to a crock pot.
Add the cubed sweet potatoes and diced onion around the pork in the crock pot.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, chicken broth, and minced garlic until well combined.
Pour the mixture over the pork and sweet potatoes in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours or on high heat for 4-5 hours, until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the pot and mix it gently with the sauce.
Serve the tangy pork and sweet potatoes warm. Enjoy!
