Sugar Free Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
Sugar Free Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
Sugar Free Slow Cooker Pulled Pork is a low carb and sugar free variation of a recipe that was given to me by an American friend when we were living in Tokyo (thanks Susan.) It’s a great tasting recipe and very simple to make. What I love about these slow cooker recipes is that you simply put everything into the pot and let it simmer away for hours. They are so easy to make and the end result is certainly well worth the slow cooking time.
How to Serve Sugar Free Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
Try serving this with some Low Carb Tortilla’s,Fresh Tomato Salsa and Mexican Slaw. Add a fresh salad, sour cream and grated cheese, and you have an amazing tasting Mexican meal. Use this recipe in Mexican recipes that require Mexican flavored meat, such as Burritos, tacos, nachos, or in Mexican Salad Bowls. Try using it in Pulled Pork Rolls, again served with Mexican Slaw or even a more traditional Coleslaw.
Check out some of these other low carb traditional Mexican dishes that will compliment this recipe for Sugar Free Slow Cooker Pork. There’s the simple to make Guacamole, and the lovely creamy Chilli Con Queso Dip to start off with. One of my favorites is the lovely authentic tasting CCauliflower Mexican Rice. This fabulous dish would go really well with this recipe as well.
Alcohol is included in this recipe but if you wish to omit it, it will not really impact on the amazing flavors. There is also no need to add any liquid in place of the alcohol if you do omit it. If you use beer and want this dish to still be low in carbs, make sure you use either a zero carb or low carb beer. Tequila has no carbohydrate in it so it is fine to use if you wish to.
Enjoy!!
