Pulled pork is a dish made from slow-cooked pork shoulder or pork butt that is typically seasoned with a blend of spices, herbs, and sometimes a barbecue sauce. The pork is cooked until it is tender enough to be easily shredded or “pulled” apart with a fork. The result is a flavorful and juicy meat that can be served on its own or used as a filling for sandwiches, tacos, or other dishes. Pulled pork is a popular dish in Southern and barbecue cuisine.
