Lindsey Bomgren makes one batch of crockpot pulled pork and turns it into three meals: sandwiches, nachos grilled for ten minutes, and a grain bowl with farro and roasted vegetables. She uses a neutral base of onions, garlic, and orange juice so kids will eat it.
Pulled pork three ways.
Woo hoo. Okay, I've got the nachos. These are my kids absolute favorite pulled pork nachos. And so I'm gonna set them down.
Because they're nice and warm, but. And you have a pulled pork sandwich. It's a classic. It's a classic for a reason, right?
Feeding a crowd. Like go to look at that. So we can just. We basically made this. We made our pulled pork so easy because you can cook it once and eat multiple times. And so what I did is I just did onions, garlic, and I did orange juice. I love the fresh squeeze of orange juice. Just gives it a little bit something. But it's very neutral, it's not overly seasoned. So my kids like that, that it's like super neutral. And then I can use it multiple ways.
Easy.
You can add more seasoning, barbecue sauce, whatever you want to add. So pulled pork Sammy, is a classic. Go to around here to pull from the freezer. You want to throw some fresh cilantro on our. This is my kid's favorite and it's pulled pork nachos. Literally just chips, pulled pork. We threw some peppers on there, some black beans for a little extra protein too. And voila. You grill that in half.
Whatever you have, easy.
10 minutes and you're done. And now we're gonna make my favorite pulled pork bowl. So let's make a pulled pork bowl. Yes.
Yeah.
Okay, you're gonna add some Farro. And this is just a grain. You could use any grain. I just cook one grain every week in bulk and then use it multiple times. So I had farro prepped for the week. I cook it in bone broth to add a little protein too. I'm gonna massage our kale here because no one wants kale that's not massaged. So I'm gonna add some kale. And while I massage the kale, you can add. I have leftover sweet potatoes and asparagus that we grilled last night. So we're just gonna throw in some leftover chopped up asparagus, some leftover sweet potatoes that I had from last night to the bowl.
So it's just an easy lunch supper for one. Right. Leftover user.
Whatever you have on hand, whatever veg you have on hand. Okay, well, I quickly wash my hands. Can you tell us? Because I made a five and a half pound pork shoulder. And this is great because I love cooking once feeding my family. But you had a fun fact because not everybody has a family to feed. So if you wanted the same results as a Pulled pork. Like, you set it and forget it, Throw it in the crock pot. But you didn't want a five pound shoulder. What could you use?
Yes. So country style ribs are basically the same cut as pork shoulder, but they just come in a lot smaller packaging. So if you're like me and my husband, we're a family of three, but only two of us eat right. So it's just a really easy way to have a smaller packaging. Same thing. You put it in the crock pot. It comes from the pig shoulder, which is where this comes from. The same kind of. It'll break down. All of that good collagen and protein and fat.
Yum. We love it. Literally, like pulling the bone out of here. We were like, all this natural collagen that we're getting from this, all the natural, healthy fats. A great postpartum recipe to bring a new mom, which Dr. Taylor is. Or to enjoy on your own. Okay. We have to show everybody how beautiful this bowl is. And what I love is my kids love dissected meals, and so they will eat this. We just dissect it. Like, everything is separate. I mix it all up and then enjoy it. Could throw some oil on here, some lemon juice, whatever you want. But my kids love a good dissected bowl. So this is my favorite way to have pulled pork. This is my kiddo's favorite way. And this is my favorite way to serve guests because easy. It's just easy. And that's three ways to enjoy pulled pork right from the crock pot that you can set and forget.
