- 3 pounds Pork shoulder (or butt)
- 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Onion powder

- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup Carrots, shredded

Instructions
Place the pork shoulder in a slow cooker.
In a bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper.
Pour the sauce over the pork shoulder in the slow cooker, making sure it is well coated.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
While the pork is cooking, prepare the slaw by combining the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, lemon juice, and olive oil in a large bowl. Toss to combine and set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it in with the remaining sauce.
To serve, place a generous portion of the pulled pork onto almond flour buns or lettuce leaves.
Top with a scoop of cabbage slaw and serve immediately.
