Crock-Pot Honey Sesame Pulled Pork

Inspired by RasaMalaysia

Ingredients

Serves 6

2 lbs / 900 gr boneless pork roast

2 large onions, finely chopped

5 garlic cloves, minced

4 tablespoons honey (pick one with a mild taste)

½ cup / 4.2 oz / 120 gr ketchup (make your own ketchup with this recipe)

½ cup / 100 ml organic wheat-free soy sauce (or coconut aminos)

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

4 tablespoons raw coconut palm sugar (or brown sugar)

1 tablespoon arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)

2 tablespoons cold water

Directions

Lightly grease the slow cooker with oil and place roast in the bottom.

In a bowl combine onions, garlic, honey, ketchup, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and sugar. Mix well and pour over the roast.

Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours — cooking time will vary depending on the slow cooker you’re using, but generally the meat begins to fall apart nicely in the neighborhood of 5 to 7 hours.

When cooked, carefully remove the roast, place in a large bowl and with two forks pull the pork until shredded.

In a small bowl whisk arrowroot powder (or cornstarch) and cold water. Stir in the sauce and cover.

Return the shredded meat to the slow-cooker and stir to combine with sauce.

Serve warm!
