Recipe Tips

For added depth of flavor, try using smoked pork shoulder instead of regular pork shoulder. If you don't have smoked paprika, regular paprika can be used instead. This dish can also be made in a slow cooker for added convenience. Simply brown the pork and sauté the vegetables before adding everything to the slow cooker and cooking on low for 6-8 hours.
