Share Pin It Print This RecipeJust yummy… nothing to add. This saucy pulled pork is a big hit on every occasion, and our super versatile, high heat tolerant Grapeseed oil is perfect for this comfort food dish.
Ingredients:
- 8-10 lb. bone-in pork shoulder
- 3 Tbsp packed light-brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp dry mustard
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 Tbsp Grapeseed Oil
- 6 cloves garlic, smashed
- potato bread buns, for serving
Directions:
1. Place pork shoulder on a large parchment-lined baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, 2 tablespoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, paprika, dry mustard, cumin, and cayenne. Rub pork with spice mixture, being sure to cover all sides. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours and preferably overnight.
2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
3. Remove pork shoulder from refrigerator and bring to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add Grapeseed Oil. Add pork shoulder to Dutch oven and sear, turning, until golden brown all over, about 4 minutes per side.
4. Add 2 cups of water to Dutch oven and position pork shoulder fat-side up, and cover. Transfer to oven and cook until meat shreds easily with two forks, 5 to 6 hours. Baste with pan juices every hour.
5. When cooked, remove from Dutch-oven and shred meat with two forks. Serve meat on buns with coleslaw.
