Mama Brown's Pulled Pork


This recipe is a delicious example of southern home cooking revamped as modern healthy fuel! Mama Brown is Rachel's soon-to-be mother in law. She is a true southern bell, born and raised in Texas. She understands the need to please those cowboy taste buds while still retaining her classy figure. While on a recent family vacation Mama Brown made this juicy and flavorful pulled pork for the whole family. It was a perfect dinner after a long day of touring a new city! It's so simple to add these four ingredients into the crock pot and go about your day. Then viola! All you have to do is pull the meat with two forks and its time to enjoy.

We believe you can fuel your body with a plethora of nutrients and simultaneously explore the rainbow of flavor. This pulled pork recipe is great way to eat lean protein, devil in a little tangy spice and feel the down home comfort of BBQ without all the sugary sauce!

Ingredients:
3-4 lbs pork loin roast
1 packet McCormick's pulled pork seasoning
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup water

Add all the ingredients to your crocks pot. Rub the seasoning all over the pork. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
When cooking time has elapsed, pull the pork with two forks and mix well.
Serve on your favorite bun with cabbage slaw. Or, for a healthier option skip the bun and eat on top of a salad, or use romaine hearts as "boats".



BBQ pulled pork boats:
Rinse 4 romaine hearts and dry with paper towel. Add 1 Tbsp black beans, a spoonful of the above pulled pork, a few sliced of roasted red bell peppers, diced tomatoes, and sliced olives into each romaine boat. Sprinkle with a little shredded cheddar cheese.
This rendition cuts out the simple carbs that you would normally get from a bun and replaces them with fresh veggies. These complex carbs offer more vitamins and minerals that your body will use as clean energy to fuel your daily activities.
