Easy to customize, and easier to consume.
We used our pasture-raised pork to create a simple taco recipe that is full of flavor, and easy to adjust to your tastes. While this dish does cook low and slow for many hours, your part of the cooking won't take more than 30 minutes. Sit back and enjoy the delicious scent of slow cooking pork.
