New York Pulled Pork Farro Bowl Recipe

New York Pulled Pork Farro Bowl

Slow cooked and pulled pork shoulder over farro

This application is great for a large cut of meat, beef or pork, shoulder or butt.  It is great to make if you are meal prepping for a week of meals or if you have a large group over for dinner.  I like to serve this in bowls, usually over farro with a bed of greens or homemade slaw.  It also serves as a great taco meat.

Farro a great substitute for rice, it is my go-to over quinoa.  I like to use it as the base for my bowls.
