Description

Straightforward and delicious low-carb, Italian-inspired shredded pork recipe!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • ½ small red onion, sliced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 10 ounces cherry tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (plus a little more for seasoning pork)
  • ½ tablespoon dried basil
  • 2 tablespoons healthy fat/oil (plus a little more for coating pork)
  • 6–8 pound pork shoulder (Boston butt)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 heaped tablespoon chives, chopped
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 275°F. Chop garlic, onion and mushrooms.
  2. Toss onion, garlic, tomatoes and mushrooms in a large Dutch oven (or similarly large, oven-proof pot) and add the fat/oil, basil, salt and black pepper. Stir to mix.
  3. Push veggies to the sides of the pot and lay in pork shoulder (fat-side-up). Lightly coat pork with more fat/oil and season lightly with black pepper and salt to taste.
  4. For dutch oven: cover dutch oven/pot with lid and roast in preheated 275°F oven for 5 hours (you can let it go for up to 8 hours, but I would start with a lower temp like 250°F if you do).
  5. For slow-cooker: cook on low for 8-10 hours.
  6. Remove from oven and transfer pork shoulder to sheet tray, piece by piece, using tongs. Reduce cooking juices over medium-high heat for 15 minutes until thickened (keep a close eye on it and stir frequently so it doesn’t scorch/burn on the bottom). Stir in butter and chives. Season with salt to taste (important to season it well since the sauce is what seasons the shredded pork).
  7. Roughly shred pork then return to the pot with cooking juices. Toss gently to coat.
  8. Serve pork with your choice of sides (like this keto polenta recipe), garnish with more chopped chives and enjoy!

This recipe makes a good amount of shredded pork, so I’d recommend freezing half for a future meal or buying a smaller pork butt and halving the ingredients!
