Ingredient and serving inspiration. Your finished dish will vary.
Ingredients
- 2–3 pounds pork shoulder
- 1 sliced onion
- 1 cup stock
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- salt and pepper
Method
- Place onion in the slow cooker. Season pork and set it on top with the stock.
- Cook covered on low until fork-tender, typically 8–10 hours depending on size and appliance. Avoid repeatedly lifting the lid.
- Verify at least 145°F and a 3-minute rest; shreddable shoulder normally cooks beyond this temperature. Shred into the juices and serve with vegetables or on rolls.
