INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven

• Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Prepare the pork

• Pat the pork dry with paper towels. Season it generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper.

Sear the pork

• In an oven-safe Dutch oven or skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

• Sear the pork on all sides until golden brown.

• Add citrus zest and juice: In a small bowl, combine the lime zest, orange zest, lime juice, and orange juice.

• Pour this mixture over the seared pork.

Braise the pork

• Add chicken broth to the Dutch oven.

• Cover with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.

• Braise for 3-4 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Shred the pork

• Once the pork is cooked, use two forks to shred it inside the Dutch oven.

• The meat should absorb the flavorful juices.

Serve

• Serve the pulled pork on a bed of lettuce, cauliflower rice, or with keto-friendly wraps.

• You can also add your favorite keto-friendly barbecue sauce if desired.

Optional

• Broil for crispy edges (optional): For some crispy edges, spread the shredded pork on a baking sheet and broil for a few minutes until the edges are golden brown.

Garnish and Enjoy

• Garnish with additional lime or orange zest if desired.
