Do you think this would work just as well in a pot on the stove? Don't own a slow cooker but would still love to try it. Pulled pork has to be one of my favourite foods! Thoughts?
I am totally cracing this naow. The avocado slices absolutely puts this over the top for me! Love the sweet & sour.
Great dinner idea! I love how summery this is.
Great photo! I am pretty much drooling on my keyboard....slurp...
This looks so good! I have to ask though, why does it have you cut the pork into 2 inch pieces? I've made pork recipes in the slow cooker before that cook through and shred easily even if it's just all one big piece. Is there something I'm missing? I'd like to avoid cutting it into pieces before it's cooked if at all possible 🙂 thanks!
I have yet to meet a pulled pork I don't like. This looks awesome!
