Pulled Pork for Dinner

Staying with my aunt this week, and I warned her I was taking over the kitchen. Tonight, we had pulled pork, sticky rice, corn and a salad with a balsamic vinaigrette. 

I make pulled pork in a crockpot. I bought a pork shoulder and rubbed a mixture of sea salt, pepper, cumin, oregano and thyme. 

I put the pork in the crockpot along with diced tomatoes, half an onion, a sliced green pepper and pieces of two cloves of garlic. 

I mixed brown sugar and apple cider vinegar in a separate bowl, and poured it over the pork. 

I put the crockpot on medium and let it sit. Of course, you need to be careful when you use a crockpot you're not used to. My crockpot at home, medium would have been enough. But my aunt's crockpot had to be on high. Fortunately, my aunt caught that, and turned it to high for enough time to cook thoroughly. It cooked for eight hours total, three hours on high.
