Pulled Pork with Spicy Ginger Sauce

Lately, I've been stumbling onto a lot of pulled pork recipes. I don't remember ever making pulled pork and I thought I really should give it a shot. My grill is out of propane or I would have loved to grill my pork. I settled instead for my trusty crock pot.

I kept the ingredients to a minimum. Just a little onion, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper.



First I placed some sliced sweet onion, sliced ginger and chopped garlic in the bottom of the crock. Then I put the roast in and topped it with more sweet onion, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper. I then filled my crock about 1/3 full of water, turned it on low and let it do it's thing for about 8 hours.

Then I took it out and shredded it up. The flavor was amazing just by itself. I did make a little spicy ginger sauce to go with it just for fun.



I tossed the pork with the sauce and served it over rice with a little green onion garnish.

Ingredients

4 lb boneless pork roast
1 inch piece of ginger, sliced
1 Sweet onion, sliced
3 cloves chopped garlic
water

Sauce
2 tbsp prepared mustard
2 tbsp molasses
1 tbsp hot chili sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/4 cup water

This had wonderful flavor! I think it would also be great on a bun of some kind or used in a wrap with some spicy slaw.
