PULLED PORK DONE RIGHT

The Dad is the chef in this house. He does 99.9% of the cooking.

As a really special treat for him for Father's Day, I planned the most delicious meal I could think of for him.

My pulled pork.

Then, because my pork is so incredible (it really is people), I knew I had to do some research to find the World's Best BBQ sauce ever.

I had a last minute brainstorm (sometimes my brain is very stormy) to make some Carolina Slaw to go on top.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love the internet?

 

The Dad was drooling folks. This is actually his second sandwich and I had to yell at him to take a picture before he bit into it! It is that good.

And, it is a crockpot recipe. How awesome is that?

Pulled Pork to Die For or Green Chile Shredded Pork

5 lb. Pork Shoulder Roast

2 1/2 large onions, sliced in 1/2

10 (yes, 10) cloves of garlic

27 oz. can of whole roasted Green Chiles

7 oz. can of diced Green Chiles

4 cups beef broth ( I use chicken because it's usually what I have)

Kosher (or Sea) Salt and Fresh ground black pepper

Olive Oil and Coconut Oil

In a large Dutch Oven (if cooking in oven, if using crockpot, us a large pan) pour once around the pot w/ olive oil and add 1 Tb. Coconut Oil. Place over medium-high heat and allow oils to melt together and get hot. Add onions to pot, cut side down in an even layer, allow to brown 3-5 minutes. Brown all sides, remove to plate.

Saute garlic, remove to plate.

Move oven racks to lowest position and pre-heat oven to 350. Of course, if you're using the crockpot, skip this.

Season roast w/ salt & pepper. Sear and brown roast, remove to plate.

Add 1 cup of broth to pan and whisk up the brown bits (deglaze). Put roast, onions, & garlic back in pan (or into crockpot). Pour in chiles and remaining broth. Cover and cook about 4 hrs. Or cook in crockpot on lowest setting.

It should pull apart w/ forks, if not, keep on cooking it.

Serve w/ warm tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, and lime wedges. OR, turn into the best pulled pork sandwiches ever by soaking it in BBQ sauce.

Might I recommend this recipe?

Which again, I owe to someone's wonderful blog, I failed to bookmark. Unbelievable really for it is my new BBQ Sauce.

1 cup Ketchup

1/2 c. brown sugar

4 T. wine vinegar

1 T. Worcestershire sauce

2 T. Chipotle Tabasco Sauce

1 T. Soy Sauce

2 T. Water

1/2 tsp. (or a smidge more) Dry Mustard

Whisk together in a small pot and bring to a light simmer.

Delish!

Carolina Slaw recipe is here. Also muy delicioso.
