Is there a way to find out serving sizes and calorie counts for these recipes?
ReplyDeleteEnter the ingredients list as a recipe in myfitnesspal.com. At three pounds of pork I'd start at six servings, then adjust later based on how many you actually got.
DeleteWould smoked paprika work with this recipe?
ReplyDeleteI use smoked paprika and it is delicious!

DeleteDo you think chicken could work in place of pork?
ReplyDeleteI use chicken more than I use pork. I replace meats with chicken in several of my recipes :)
DeleteI have used chicken thighs and a breast to do this recipe or similar more times than pork so delicious. I also have added a jar of salsa to chicken. I eat chicken but make the pork sometimes because my parents like pork. I'm not such a fan.
DeletePlease let me know if we can substitute chicken instead.

ReplyDeleteI didn't have pork shoulder or wine vinegar so I used pork loin and apple cider vinegar. I did double the recipie so I put it on low for 10hrs but it still tough. What can I do to make it moist and tender?
ReplyDeletePork loin is less fatty, so my guess is you over cooked it and that's why it's tough. That layer of skin that she pulls off drips fat into the pork to keep it moist. Sometimes you can find pork loin with fat and make sure that side is up when you cook it for the same reason.
