Slow Cook Pork Sirloin Salad

This is one of the things I do when I make pulled pork.  Its perfect over a salad because you won't need any dressing.  Its also great over rice or in a wrap/burrito.  Some times I'll serve it on toasted Pulgese bread with a good coleslaw.
Ingredients
For pork:
Whole pork sirloin
1 Onion sliced lengthwise
Chicken stock
Paprika
Fennel Seed
Spike seasoning and S&P
For Salad:
Romaine lettuce chopped
Spinach chopped
1 Tomato diced
1 Roasted red pepper (jar) diced
Jalepenos (jar) sliced/chopped
Sprouts

Heat dry sauce pan add fennel seed and toast a few mins. until you really smell the fennel.
Make sure as much fat is trimmed from the meat as possible.  Season pork with paprika and spike and S&P
Slice onion lengthwise.

Sear meat on all sides at med high heat and then add onion and saute til sightly translucent.
Add chicken stock until it comes half way up the meat.  Reduce to mid low heat and simmer.
Simmer a couple hours, adding a little stock now and then to keep liquid at about the same level.  Turn meat about every half hour.  When its fork tender and almost falling apart, turn off heat.  Take 2 forks and shred meat with them.  Keep meat in liquid.  Its easier to shred while its still warm.  I do it right in the sauce pan.  Serve pork on toasted buns or by it's self with some mashed potatoes or like I did below on a salad.
Combine the above listed salad ingredients or choose your own, top with pulled pork, and enjoy.
