Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a large skillet over high heat heat the oil. Season the pork with salt and pepper; add the pork to the skillet; sear on all sides until browned (15 minutes). After 10 minutes add the garlic cloves; turning every once in a while.

Step 2

Transfer pork to slow cooker and return skillet to high heat. Add 1 cup of broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer; scraping the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Pour liquid over the pork in the slow cooker. Add 2 cups of broth to slow cooker. I added one clove of black cardamom to the slow cooker. Cook for 9-10 hours on low or until pork starts to fall apart.

Step 3

Let pork rest for 20 minutes and then using a slotted spoon scoop out the garlic and any other spices and discard.

Step 4

Shred pork with two forks; moisten meat with juices from slow cooker.

Step 5

Serve on buns with your favorite toppings - in my house we added barbecue sauce.

Pulled Pork always goes over well, everyone seems to love Pulled Pork served with crusty buns.The aroma when browning the meat before adding to the Slow Cooker was great, the four cloves of garlic just right as was the cardamom but wished I had added onions and green pepper. When reheating I did add paprika, cumin and cayenne to spice it up. For the barbecue sauce I used Sweet Baby Ray. Served with burger toppings make an easy weekend meal.
