Delicious BBQ Pulled Pork Recipe

Ingredients

• 3-4 pounds pork shoulder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup BBQ sauce (your choice)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• Buns for serving
• Coleslaw for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and prepare a large roasting pan.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, then add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Rub the pork shoulder with brown sugar, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, ensuring it's evenly coated.
4. Place the seasoned pork shoulder in the prepared roasting pan and pour the cooked onion and garlic mixture over it, followed by the apple cider vinegar and BBQ sauce.
5. Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 4-5 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
6. Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes before shredding with two forks, mixing in additional BBQ sauce if desired.
7. Serve the pulled pork on buns, topped with coleslaw if you like, and enjoy!
