Pulled pork is a staple of the US south, in particular the Carolinas, where American barbecue (BBQ) has become a regional art. BBQ pulled pork is usually made with pork shoulder for the most tender, flavorful dish. We have given this regional favorite an international update by adding the unique flavor and spice profile of our SugarRoti Pork Nu Spice to create SugarRoti Pulled Pork sandwiches, a truly remarkable taste combination.

This dish is particularly well-suited to a slow cooker or Instant Pot - allowing the meat to cook slowly and become soft and tender to create the perfect pulled pork sandwich.
