This Cilantro Lime Rice with Slow Cooker Pulled Pork is a simple easy dinner. The whole meal is also naturally gluten free, egg free, dairy free, soy free and peanut free. The pork was made in the crockpot and rice in a steamer making it an easy dinner for us.
Pork was another thing I would rarely eat. This pork is soo easy and makes enough for days of leftovers for another quick and easy meal. Put the pork in the crockpot with some garlic and allow to marinate overnight in chicken or vegetable stock (make sure it’s gluten free). You could add more salt, but I find the stock contains plenty. Turn the crock pot on low for 6-8 hours or on high for close to 4 hours. The pork will be so tender it just falls off the bone. And the rice? So easy. If you have rice cooker you just wash and push a button.
Done.
Cilantro Lime Rice and Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
Author: Laura @ Petite Allergy Treats
- 3-4 cups uncooked jasmine rice
- 1 lime
- 1/2-tsp salt
- 2 T canola oil
- 1 half bunch fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 large pork shoulder
- 3-4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 tsp powdered garlic
Directions
- Combine pork shoulder in the crockpot with stock and garlic. Allow to marinate overnight.
- Set crockpot on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours. Check pork for doneness with a fork, it should fall apart.
- Wash rice throughly until water is clear. Add equal parts water to the rice.
- Steam rice in a rice cooker. When button pops to signify it is done, wait at least another 10 mins to open lid and check. Do not open or else you’ll allow all the steam to escape and rice won’t be cooked enough.
- Pour cooked rice into a large mixing bowl. Gently fluff and allow to cool until warm to the touch.
- Wash cilantro. Pull off only the leaves and coarsely chop.
- Squeeze lime into small bowl and combine with salt and oil.
- Add cilantro to lime mixture and pour over cooled rice. Gently mix to coat all of the rice.
- Add a generous portion of pork. Enjoy!

I just wanted to say that I love these recipes! Every time a subscription link pops up on any other website I hit “x” immediately, except for this one! I have multiple food allergies, anaphylactic and egids related. I started my own blog to share my allergy free recipes before I saw this and you have given me so many ideas! Do you mind if I try some of your recipes on my own blog? I always cite my sources! Just didn’t want to step on the pro’s toes.

Hi Breanna! So glad my blog has helped you and it is awesome (and empowering) to hear you’ve created your own blog to help others in the food allergy community.
Feel free to make any recipes and photograph your creations. But please LINK to the original recipe instead of reprinting my recipes on your site (it’s a copyright thing ?). Unless you’ve completely recreated the recipe from scratch (not just listing a specific milk or oil) but really changing the quantities of ingredients, you should never reprint another blogger’s recipe without expressed permission first.
Good luck with your blog and can’t wait to see what you create!
