It’s been awhile since I’ve spent any extra time creating new things in the kitchen. To be honest, recipe creating is not my jam. I only started cooking from scratch a couple of years ago and I’m much more comfortable following recipes from some of my favourite cookbooks and blogs.
This recipe was born from a lack of proper meal planning leading to a lack of ingredients. I was aiming for this recipe (which I’ve heard is absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to try it once I’ve collected the ingredients), but ended up doing the following:
Ingredients
For the pulled pork:
3-4 lb pastured pork roast
1 cup beef bone broth
1 jar salsa verde
4 tsp crushed garlic
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp dried cilantro
1 tsp oregano
For the cauliflower rice:
2 heads cauliflower
1 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 tbsp dried cilantro
Salt
Butter lettuce or preferred lettuce for wraps
Directions
For the pulled pork:
1) Rub the roast with the garlic, cilantro, oregano, and salt.
2) Place the roast in crockpot with the beef bone broth, and then pour approximately 3/4 of the jar of salsa verde on top of the roast. (Reserve the rest of the salsa for topping off the wraps.)
3) Cook the pork in the crockpot on the low setting for 24 hours.
4) After 24 hours, remove the roast from the crockpot and shred it with two forks.
For the cauliflower rice:
4) Grate the cauliflower with a cheese grater or pulse in food processor until it resembles grains of rice.
5) Heat the coconut coconut oil in a large frying pan on medium heat.
6) Add the cauliflower to the pan, with the dried cilantro and salt. Fry it on medium-high heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring often, until it begins to get slightly crisp on the outside. Remove from heat.
For the wraps:
7) Wash and dry lettuce leaves. I like using butter lettuce or even cabbage leaves for extra crunch.
8) Fill lettuce leaves with cauliflower rice, pulled pork, and a dab of salsa verde on top.
Enjoy!
There’s no way to make these look appetizing but I promise they were delicious. Trust me.
