Everybody loves pork, but why is it such underrated meat in the kitchen? Even on this blog, pork has seemingly taken a back seat to the likes of chicken, and beef! But this shouldn’t be the case. I particularly love Pan-Seared Brined Pork Chops, but this recipe is on another level. Pork offers immense flavor and dimension into a dish, and to show you, I’ve prepared an amazingly delicious Italian Pulled Pork recipe. After trying this dish, you’ll be seeing a lot more pork on this site because I am truly blown away! Pulled pork is extraordinarily popular. Let’s be honest here, pulled pork is the new bacon when it comes to additions to sandwiches, salads, and even eggs. My go-to choice when it comes to pork? I like using Smithfield Boneless Pork Shoulder. Now back to the recipe. I’m big into Italian food so when we decided to have a Game Day party to celebrate football season being underway, I decided to do a dish I can leave in the slow cooker to cook all day and then serve it up in sandwiches when my guests were ready to eat. The pork was beautifully tender and the tomato sauce was rich and packed full of flavor. It was so good, we had it leftover the following day with pasta. I’m telling you, I have never gotten so many compliments on a meal. As you can see, Smithfield Pork is incredibly versatile that can take on any flavor combination you throw at it! It’s a meat that you can dress up and serve for a fancy dinner, but at the same time, it’s something that you can throw in a slow cooker until it’s melt-in-your-mouth tender and heave it onto a roll for a football party or tailgate. So next time you’re thinking about using chicken, turkey, or beef, you should give pork a fighting chance! You might end up realizing that pork is your new favorite choice of meat!
