Sweet Chili Pulled Pork Food

CROCKPOT PULLED PORK CHILI

Steps:

• Season the pork shoulder with the sugar, salt, pepper and onion powder. Place the pork in the crockpot and add the beer. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours (I like to do this overnight), then shred the pork with forks or kitchen tongs, removing any bone (and large chunks of fat, if desired.)
• Add the garlic, shallot, peppers, tomatoes puree, crushed tomatoes, beans, tomato paste and remaining spices. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for at least 4 hours, but up to another 8. If you're home, taste the chili halfway through and add more seasoning, salt and pepper if desired. This is normal - everyone likes their chili a little differently! Before serving, taste again.
• Serve with sour cream or greek yogurt, cheese, green onions, cilantro and tortilla chips. This freezes beautifully!

THAI SWEET CHILI PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Gather ingredients.
• Rub your pork tenderloin with olive oil, paprika, salt, pepper and garlic on all sides. Add a little extra olive to your pan. (If you have an iron skillet or a pan that can be used from stove top to oven, that is best. It saves on doing extra dishes.
• Sear your seasoned pork tenderloin in the pan on medium-high heat on all sides. About 2 minutes per side or about 6 minutes.
• Transfer your seared, seasoned pork tenderloin to the pre-heated oven and cook for about 10-15 minutes more or until the internal temperature is 145 degrees F. Turn the pork loin over half way through the cooking process.
• Stir together the ginger, tamari (soy sauce) and Thai sweet chili sauce (or to make low carb/diabetic friendly, exchange with sugar free orange preserves, teaspoon water and chili flakes).
• Brush on the Thai chili sauce glaze on the pork tenderloin during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and allow to rest 5 minutes. Slice pork tenderloin and garnish with sliced green onions.
• Enjoy!

PULLED PORK CHILI

Steps:

• Remove the skin (if there is any) and cut off most of the fat from the pork shoulder.
• Mix the chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, sugar, cumin, and salt in a small bowl. Liberally coat all sides of the pork with the spices. Pour any remaining spice into your slow cooker.
• Add the crushed tomatoes, onion, garlic, beef broth, and hoisin to your crockpot and mix well. Place the pork roast into the pot, cover with the lid, and set it to 10 hours on low heat.
• Remove the pork roast from the pot and put it into a large bowl. Discard the bone and any big pieces of fat. Shred the meat using 2 forks then return it to the crockpot. Add the beans and corn and stir well. Let the chili reheat for a few minutes then serve with any or all of the optional toppings.

Steps:

• Mix together the tomato paste, vegetable oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic and onions in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover the top of the bowl with a very wet paper towel. Microwave for 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker.
• Add the pork to the slow cooker along with the stock, adobo sauce, salt, beans and 1 cup of the BBQ sauce. Cook on high until the pork is cooked through and tender, 4 to 5 hours (or on low for 6 to 8 hours). Skim any excess fat off the top and discard. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
• In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, garlic powder and remaining 1/4 cup BBQ sauce.
• Top the chili with the sour cream mixture, pork rinds and scallions. Serve with the chips on the side or crumbled on top.
