Pulled Pork

  • In a small bowl combine salt, pepper, smoked paprika, turmeric and ground fennel.  Pour mixture onto pork and spread it evenly all over the meat.

  • Remove pickled radishes from the jar and add to the cabbage.  Then add the fresh Dandy Radish Ministicks and stir everything to combine.

Notes

For Serving:  Top pulled pork with coleslaw and serve it in cabbage cups or on bread!
*You can also use a slow cooker instead of a dutch oven and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
*INSTANT POT:  Follow the instructions the same way but do the sauté part in the instant pot then put it on manual for 55 minutes!
