Units
Scale
- 2 lbs (907 g) pork loin or pork roast
- 1 batch Homemade Greek Seasoning Blend
- 1 large yellow onion, diced or thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 batch Homemade Greek Tzatziki Sauce
- Sliced red onions, tomatoes, red cabbage for topping
Instructions
- Add the onions, garlic, and pork to the slow cooker.
- Add the Homemade Greek Seasoning Blend and pour the water over.
- Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours, turning the roast over halfway through.
- Shred the pork on a plate with two forks.
- Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and simmer for a few more minutes to allow the juices to absorb.
- Add more Homemade Greek Seasoning if desired; if adding more, cook the shredded pork for a few more minutes.
- Serve on warmed flatbread or in pita pockets with the tzatziki sauce and accompaniments.
Notes
- For easier shredding, let the pork rest for 10 minutes after cooking.
- Substitute boneless shoulder for pork loin for a richer, fattier pulled pork.
- Store leftover pulled pork and tzatziki separately in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
