A tender and flavorful pork shoulder recipe, perfect for a comforting family meal.
Season the pork shoulder with smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Let the pork sit for a few minutes after seasoning to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned.
Searing the meat locks in the juices and adds a rich flavor.
Slice the onions into thick rings and chop the carrots and celery into large chunks.
Uniformly sized vegetables ensure even cooking.
Place half of the onion rings at the bottom of the slow cooker.
The onions act as a natural rack for the pork, preventing it from sticking.
Add the seared pork shoulder on top of the onions, then layer the remaining onions, carrots, and celery around the pork.
Arrange the vegetables evenly for consistent cooking.
Pour the soy sauce over the pork and add the garlic cloves.
Crush the garlic slightly to release more flavor.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 5-6 hours.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain a consistent temperature.
Once cooked, shred the pork with two forks and mix with the juices in the slow cooker.
Mixing the pork with the juices enhances its flavor and keeps it moist.
Serve the pork with the cooked vegetables and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with a side of mashed potatoes or rice for a complete meal.
