Introduction
An incredibly simple and flavorful pulled pork made with just four main ingredients in a slow cooker. The pork shoulder is seasoned with a cumin rub, then slowly cooked in a rich, savory sauce combining salsa and creamy peanut butter, served over warm garlic mashed potatoes.
Step 1
In a medium bowl, mix kosher salt, black pepper, and about half of the ground cumin to create a simple dry rub.
Step 2
Generously coat the entire pork shoulder with the spice rub, rubbing it thoroughly into the meat.
Step 3
Place the seasoned pork shoulder into the slow cooker.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the salsa, peanut butter, and the remaining ground cumin until well combined.
Step 5
Pour the salsa and peanut butter sauce mixture over the pork shoulder in the slow cooker.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Salt and black pepper do not count toward the 'four ingredients' in this simple recipe.
Peanut butter serves as the secret ingredient, adding a creamy texture, richness, and a subtle nutty flavor that balances the salsa.
At the end of cooking, stirring the remaining slow cooker juices is essential to emulsify the rendered pork fat back into the salsa sauce.
