Ingredients
- About ⅔ of a cooked pork loin ~325g
- 1 8 oz can of tomato sauce like Hunts

- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Small sweet bell pepper diced (I used an orange one)
- 2 cups baby spinach chopped
Instructions
- Cut the loin into large chunks.About ⅔ of a cooked pork loin ~325g
- Mix the tomato sauce, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and vinegar in a medium pot over medium heat.¼ cup BBQ sauce, 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 8 oz can of tomato sauce
- Add the pork.
- Cover and let it cook for about 30 minutes. By this time the pork should be soft enough to pull. Using two forks, shred the meat.
- Don’t worry if some pieces won’t separate easily. The longer it cooks the easier it will give. Just shred as much as possible.
- Lower the head to medium-low and continue to let the meat simmer.
- Meanwhile, dice the pepper and add it to the meat.Small sweet bell pepper
- Chop the spinach. The smaller you chop it the more it will melt into the dish. My family is so used to seeing green stuff I didn’t bother going as small as I could.2 cups baby spinach
- Add the spinach and continue to simmer until you’re ready to eat, at least 10 more minutes. Separate any larger chunks of pork as well.
- When we were ready to eat, I piled ½ cup on a whole wheat potato roll and served it with a side of roasted broccoli.
