Ingredients
- 3 ½ lbs pork shoulder blade roasts
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 onions chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 2 bay leaves
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- 1 can 14 oz/398 ml tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 green onions chopped
Instructions
- Season pork with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat; add pork and cook until brown all over. Transfer to slow cooker.
- In the Dutch oven, add onions, garlic, chili powder, coriander and bay leaves; cook, stirring often, until onions are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add tomato paste and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Add tomato sauce, sugar, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits. Pour mixture all over the pork in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low until pork is tender, 8 to 10 hours.
- Transfer pork to cutting board and let stand for 10 minutes. Using 2 forks, shred or “pull” pork. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, pour liquid from slow cooker into large saucepan; skim off fat. Bring to a boil over high heat; boil until mixture has been reduced to 3 cups, about 10-12 minutes. Discard bay leaves.
- Add pulled pork into the sauce and stir to coat. Sprinkle with green onions.
- Serve on buns with creamy coleslaw.
- Enjoy!
