Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless pork shoulder
• 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 3 cups cauliflower rice
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 2 large eggs
• 2 stalks green onions
• 2 pieces lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Slice the pork shoulder thinly into bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and sea salt to the bowl. Mix well to coat the pork, then cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the marinated pork and cook for 6–8 minutes until fully cooked and caramelized on the edges. Set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the cauliflower rice and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 5

In a separate nonstick skillet, fry the eggs to your desired doneness. Sunny-side-up is traditional for Tocilog.

Step 6

Assemble the plate: serve the garlic cauliflower rice, pork tocino, and fried eggs alongside each other. Garnish with chopped green onions and lemon wedges for added brightness.

Step 7

Enjoy your Whole30-compliant Tocilog!
