There’s nothing more versatile than pork shoulder, cooked until fork tender and shredded.
Bon Appétit tells us that even in summer it’s worth cranking up the stove, or plugging in the slow cooker, to make pork shoulder. Leave that hunk of pork to stew in its own juices, and come back to a week’s worth of meals. Make sandwiches, noodles, salads, wraps or tacos with the shredded pork.
Follow along with Bon Appétit’s “no recipe” method, or make one of our pork shoulder recipes below.
