Italian Pulled Pork

More than a decade ago, when I initially prepared a slow cooker red wine roast beef for the first time, my husband became so enamored with its rich flavors that he insisted it be added to our monthly meal rotation. I was delighted to comply with your request.

The memories of that extraordinary dinner lingered in our conversations for a full 48 hours, with everyone still raving about the culinary masterpiece. With Italian flavors lingering on my palate, I couldn’t help but experiment with a pork rendition of that iconic roast.

When I initially roasted the five-pound pork loin, I anticipated an abundance of leftover meat. While nearly all attendees returned for more, I was left with a disappointing portion of roast beef, barely enough for a subsequent meal.

When luck is on your side and leftovers abound, the fusion of Italian pulled pork with sautéed potatoes, onions, and apples yields a delectable Roasted Italian Pork with Apples and Potatoes, a harmonious marriage of flavors and textures that’s sure to delight.

This effortless pork roast recipe is a stress-free solution for a quick and satisfying dinner. With minimal preparation time – under ten minutes – you’ll soon be surrounded by the mouthwatering aroma of a perfectly roasted dish, filling your home with its savory scent throughout the day.

With minimal effort, cooking this roast in a slow-cooker ensures that your pork turns out tender and flavorful. This slow-cooker roast combines the flavors of Italy with tender ease, beginning with a substantial 7-pound pork shoulder – specifically, the shoulder blade, which yields an exceptional result.

Slow-cook the roast in a crock-pot with a layer of thinly sliced onions at the base, accompanied by a harmonious blend of Italian herbs and spices, sufficient water, and rich red wine for 9-10 hours.

When preparing this dish, I often opt for a Cabernet Sauvignon; however, Merlot, Pinot Noir, or other dry red wines can also be suitable substitutes. As the roast slowly simmers, it will luxuriate in the rich flavors of red wine and herbs, gradually becoming tender and succulent without requiring your attention.

Shred the pork, which will tenderly disintegrate into bite-sized pieces due to its inherent juiciness, and allow the roast to remain undisturbed, basking in its rich flavorful essence, until the moment of serving is at hand.

Italian Pork Roast Recipe

Add layers of caramelized onions to the base of a large crock-pot or Dutch oven. Pat the roast dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Position the roast in the slow cooker with its fattiest portion facing downwards at first.

Sprinkle half of the spices evenly over the roast, gently massaging them into the meat to ensure thorough coverage. Rotate the roast and position it fat-side up on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining spice blend evenly over the top surface. Combine the water and wine in a pot, then cover it.

Allow the dish to simmer on low for a prolonged period of 9-10 hours, or alternatively, cook it on high for a shorter duration of 6-7 hours, ensuring that the meat becomes tender and falls apart effortlessly. Once cooked through, tenderly shred the meat before infusing it with the savory juices, ensuring a succulent texture that’s perfect for serving.

Can I Freeze Pulled Pork?

Yes! To preserve pulled pork for future use, ensure it reaches a thorough cooking temperature before portioning it out into freezer-safe containers, including any accumulated juices from the cooking process. Can you freeze the bags flat in the freezer and then thaw them before reheating?

I relish the simplicity of having leftover pork roast at my disposal, making it effortless to whip up a satisfying meal on even the most hectic weeknights. While our family adores this dish, the abundance of flavor and aroma often leaves us scrapping the bottom of the bowl, leaving minimal leftovers for future meals.

I own multiple slow cooker appliances, commonly referred to as crockpots. As a loyal devotee of slow cookers, you likely appreciate the convenience and flexibility that comes with having multiple appliances at your disposal. So, let’s explore my top picks:

This six-quart slow cooker boasts a convenient locking lid for added safety and convenience during cooking processes. These slow cookers prove to be incredibly versatile when it comes to transporting meals. This beloved dish of mine has traveled far and wide, gracing gatherings from casual get-togethers like church potlucks and barbecues, to more formal occasions like game nights and Thanksgiving celebrations. However, a word of caution: these slow cookers have been known to reach scorching temperatures. The water is almost at a boil, but the warm setting actually simmers. Trust me: HIGH is indeed very high.

This trusty 8-quart Crock-Pot is my go-to slow cooker for everyday use. This slow cooker is my trusted companion for preparing hearty meals like large roasts and massive batches of chili. The seemingly counterintuitive world of cooking dynamics! It appears that when a slow cooker is filled to its maximum capacity, the food’s exposure to heat is slowed down due to the insulating properties of the liquid and solid ingredients. Meanwhile, an almost-empty 8-quart cooker allows for more efficient heat transfer, resulting in faster cooking times.

This compact 3-quart slow cooker is ideal for preparing small quantities of chicken, such as a few pounds, suitable for shredding and using in dishes like enchiladas or other recipes that require a moderate amount of cooked poultry.

With my newfound expertise in utilizing mid-sized round slow cookers, Thanksgiving preparation has transitioned from an overwhelming chore to a seamless affair.

With the ability to simultaneously prepare and keep multiple dishes warm, these innovative CrockPockets eliminate the need for multiple slow cookers, revolutionizing meal prep for fans of this convenient cooking method. This innovative serving solution effortlessly accommodates a standard 6-quart crockpot, seamlessly partitioning into two compartments that allow for effortless presentation of distinct side dishes or the gentle warming of taco fillings, ideal for gatherings and celebrations.

My go-to oven pork roast recipe remains Herb Rubbed Pork Roast, a true classic. This simple recipe is an ideal way for beginners to master cooking a delicious pork roast in the oven. This cooking technique takes merely 90 minutes to produce a truly exceptional dish consistently. 

As much as I delight in oven-braised pork roasts, there are times when I crave a recipe that allows me to prepare ahead of time, without needing to give it another thought until dinner hour arrives. When life gets busy, a slow cooker pork roast is always ready to come to the rescue.

Spicy Honey Lime Pork Roast – a harmonious blend of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors that tantalize the taste buds from start to finish. A welcome departure from my usual repertoire of herb-infused pork roasts, this dish is equally effortless yet satisfying.

A sweet spot is reserved in my heart for the harmonious union of brown sugar and balsamic vinegar, which truly excels in this slow-cooked Crock-Pot Balsamic Brown Sugar Pork Roast. With its rich, velvety caramel undertones and a whisper of acidity, this unassuming pork roast recipe is poised to delight even the most discerning palates.
