How to Serve Pulled Pork

The next time you're roasting pork shoulder for a Sunday dinner or smoking it for a family barbecue, throw an extra piece of pork in and save it to use for quick meals during the week. Refrigerate the extras and use the fully cooked, pulled pork shoulder in almost any recipe. Pulled pork serves as a convenient recipe-ready ingredient that pairs well with many sauces, condiments and vegetables.
