Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork shoulder
- 6 cloves Garlic
- 3 Bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon Whole black peppercorns
- 1 cup Coconut aminos
- 0.5 cup White vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 large Onion
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped scallions
Instructions
Cut the pork shoulder into 2-inch cubes and set aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Slice the large onion into thin strips.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pork cubes, minced garlic, bay leaves, and whole black peppercorns. Add the coconut aminos, white vinegar, and water.
Mix everything thoroughly, ensuring the pork is well-coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator, or overnight for maximum flavor.
Once marinated, transfer the pork mixture to a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the pot, stirring occasionally, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 1 hour. Stir the pot occasionally and ensure that the pork remains moist; add a little more water if necessary.
After 1 hour, check the pork for tenderness. It should be fork-tender and fully cooked. If not, continue to simmer until it reaches the desired tenderness.
Season with sea salt and ground black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
Serve the Sugar-Free Adobo Pork hot, garnished with chopped scallions, alongside steamed rice or a low-carb alternative.
