Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork shoulder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Sugar-free BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon Butter (optional)
- 8 pieces Romaine lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup Pickles (optional)
- 1 cup Coleslaw (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the pork shoulder with the olive oil, ensuring it's coated on all sides.
Sprinkle the spice mix over the pork, pressing it to adhere.
Place the pork in a roasting dish. Add apple cider vinegar and cover the dish with foil.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 4 hours, or until the pork is very tender and can be pulled apart easily with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes.
Using two forks, shred the pork into thin pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded pork with the sugar-free BBQ sauce, mixing until the pork is thoroughly coated. Add a tablespoon of butter for extra richness if desired.
To serve, heap a portion of the pulled pork onto a romaine lettuce leaf, top with pickles and coleslaw if desired, and close with another lettuce leaf.
Repeat with remaining ingredients to make additional burgers.
Serve the low-carb pulled pork burgers immediately and enjoy.
