01
Step 1
Mix all the spices together in a small bowl. Take about 6 to 8 tablespoons of the spice mix and rub it all over the pork, saving the rest for later. Wrap the pork tightly in plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge overnight so the flavors can really soak in.

Step 2
The next day, place the pork in your slow cooker with the fat side facing up. Pour in the crushed and diced tomatoes around the pork. Cover the slow cooker and let it cook on low for about 8 hours.

Step 3
Once it’s done, take the pork out and use two forks to shred it up. If it feels a bit dry, stir in some of the cooking juices to keep it nice and moist.
Why you’ll love it
This dish is perfect for busy days because it requires minimal prep and cooks slowly to develop deep, rich flavors. The pork becomes tender and juicy, making every bite satisfying and comforting. It’s a great way to enjoy a hearty meal with little effort.
How to serve
Serve the pulled pork on soft sandwich buns with coleslaw for a classic combination. It also pairs well with corn on the cob, baked beans, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal. Add pickles or jalapeños for a little extra kick.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover pulled pork in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze portions in freezer-safe bags for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to keep the meat tender.
