Pulled Pork { Bar-B-Que }


bbq meal
Pulled Pork with Rice, Green Beans, Oat Bread Roll & Sweet Tea

Here's what you need:
4 lbs pork roast (shoulder or butt)
2 large onions
1 cup ginger ale
1 (18 ounce) bottle favorite barbecue sauce (I like Sticky Fingers Carolina Classic)
*a note about bbq sauce... be sure to read your labels carefully... if you're eating soy free, beware of ingredients such as smoke flavor or natural flavors, worcestershire or vegetable flavors.

1. Slice one onion and place in crock pot.
2. Put in the roast and cover with the other onion, sliced. Pour over the ginger ale. Cover and cook on LOW. Cook times vary greatly from crockpot to crockpot.
     (I ended up cooking mine for like 10 hours.... )

crock pot

You'll know it's done when the pork easily falls apart when you poke it with a fork.  Before it gets to that point, it will be rubbery... let it cook longer and it will fall apart :)

3. Remove the meat, strain, discard all liquid. With two forks, shred the meat, discarding any remaining fat, bones or skin. Most of the fat will have melted away.

4. You can return the shredded meat and the onions to the crock pot and stir in the barbecue sauce.
Continue to cook for another 30 minutes on LOW.
(I prefer not to simmer in the sauce... I just add the sauce when served.)

5. Serve by itself or with dairy/soy free hamburger buns and additional barbecue sauce.
I make rolls from this recipe :)
Any leftovers freeze well.

I put the leftovers in freezer bags and stick 'em in the freezer.  It's great to have dairy/soy free BBQ to pull out whenever you need a quick meal.

Makes great BBQ sandwiches!

  1. Thanks, Jessica! As soon as I found out that I was going to have to go dairy/free soy free (in addition to gluten free), I immediately thought of you and said that if you could do it, I could do it too! Thanks for being an inspiration to all of us. I feel like it's such a privilege to be able to nurse my little girl and keep her healthy.

    Thanks for all the recipes and pictures!
