Creole Pulled Pork
Ingredients
- pork roast, (any pork roast works well for this including fresh ham roast, shoulder roast, and loin ... I've even used 4 or 5 shoulder steaks in a pinch
- olive oil
- creole seasoning (we like Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning**)
Directions
- Use a knife to pierce the roast all over
- Drizzle roast with olive oil
- Use your fingers to rub seasoning into the roast
- Allow to marinate overnight in an airtight container (optional)
- Put roast & 2 inches of water into crock pot and cook on low for 10-12 hours
- Remove any bones and shred pork into the juices
Serving Suggestion: This pulled pork really shines when served on an English muffin with a dill pickle and creamy grits on the side
**Don't have creole seasoning on hand? The following creole seasoning recipe is from Tony Chachere's cookbook. You will only need a fraction of this so consider cutting the recipe down. Or, don't. It's a versatile seasoning and I'm sure you find many ways to use it in your cooking. We also particularly like this seasoning on fried potatoes and chicken.
