3 Ingredient Pulled Pork Sandwich

Only 3 ingredients to moist, flavourful pulled pork that can be prepared in minutes and cooked in a slow cooker.

Pulled pork is a form of pork barbecue which involves cooking over low heat for an extended period of time, slowly softening the connective tissue of the meat so that it can be pulled apart by hand. Several culinary traditions have a history of this dish, and many people associate this barbecue style specifically with the American South, where it has been refined to an art form. In the South, many barbecue establishments offer pulled pork, and it is also a common dish at parties and celebrations. Making this dish at home is time-consuming and it requires a smoker, ideally, although some people use slow cookers or even prepare it in their ovens.

Reduce food waste by calculating how much pulled pork per person you’ll need before you start cooking.
