Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 700 grams Pork loin
- 240 ml Low-sodium chicken broth
- 30 ml Balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Whole wheat burger buns
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 8 slices Tomato slices
- 120 ml Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 15 ml Dijon mustard
- 15 ml Honey
Instructions
Trim any visible fat from the pork loin and cut it into large chunks.
In a slow cooker, combine the pork chunks with the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the pork evenly with the spices.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the remaining juices.
In a small bowl, mix together the low-fat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and honey to create a creamy dressing.
Toast the whole wheat burger buns in a toaster or on a grill for a few minutes until lightly golden.
Assemble the burgers by placing a layer of shredded lettuce on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a generous portion of the shredded pork, two slices of tomato, and a dollop of the yogurt and mustard dressing. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat pulled pork burgers!
