Hardwood Smoked Pulled Pork

To create this authentic Pulled Pork, our supplier seasons the meat with dehydrated garlic, onion powder, sea salt & white pepper—plus a special seasoning blend that includes light brown sugar, molasses, maple syrup, and coffee. The seasoned Pork is then smoked in a small-batch rotisserie smoker, using actual hardwood logs (no wood chips, and no liquid smoke). Once cooked, it’s shredded and packaged for Trader Joe’s.

When you open the package at home, you’ll find a pouch inside that you can simply pierce and microwave on a dish for about three minutes. Or if you prefer, you can pour the contents of the pouch onto an oven-safe plate, cover with foil, add three tablespoons of water or sauce, and pop it in your conventional oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes. Either way, you’ll end up with savory, smoky, melt-in-your-mouth Pulled Pork that’s ready in no time to toss with TJ’s Hatch Valley Salsa and serve in our Organic Stone Ground Yellow Corn Taco Shells, or your favorite TJ’s flour tortillas.
