Add in my background as an engineer-turned-culinary YouTuber, and you’ve got a recipe for success in the kitchen. Let’s dive into this low-carb, high-flavor journey together!

Ingredients

• 2 lbs pork shoulder, trimmed and cut into chunks
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup sugar-free barbecue sauce
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F.
2. In a large oven-safe pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add pork shoulder chunks and sear on all sides until browned (about 5 minutes).
3. Add onions and garlic to the pot, sautéing until softened.
4. Pour in chicken broth, barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
5. Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 3-4 hours, until the pork is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.
6. Remove the pot from the oven and shred the pork using two forks. Stir to coat the meat in the sauce.
7. Serve the keto pulled pork hot, either on its own or with low-carb sides like cauliflower rice or lettuce wraps.

Cooking Tips and Tricks

• For added flavor, try marinating the pork shoulder in a mix of lime juice, cumin, and oregano overnight before cooking.
• If you prefer a smokier taste, consider adding a dash of liquid smoke to the sauce before roasting the pork.
• To save time on busy weeknights, use a slow cooker instead of the oven. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.

Photography Tips

When photographing your keto pulled pork, experiment with different angles to showcase the texture and colors of the dish. Natural light works best to capture the mouth-watering appeal of the meal. Consider using a macro lens to highlight the details of the pulled pork.
