Morphology
pulled + pork
The noun phrase is compositionally built: a B1 learner who knows 'pork' and understands 'pulled' as the past participle of 'pull' can infer pork that has been pulled/apart (i.e. shredded). However, the specific culinary process (slow-cooking, barbecue context) and the conventionalized sense 'pulled' = 'shredded and served as barbecue' may not be fully predictable, so the expression is only partly transparent.
Etymology
The dish pulled pork gets its name from how cooks make it. The pork is cooked slowly until very soft and then people pull it apart with forks into thin pieces, so the name means 'shredded pork'.
