Ingredients for 12 servings
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 1⁄2 cup of ketchup
- 1⁄4 cup of packed brown sugar 1⁄4 cup of tomato paste
- 2tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/3 cup of cider vinegar
- 2tbp. sweet paprika
- 1 1⁄2 tsp. Salt
- 1 1⁄4 tsp. ground black pepper
- 4lb boneless pork shoulder
- 12 buns or ciabatta rolls
Equipment
Large slow-cooker, large bowl, forks
Method
Mix together the onion, ketchup, brown sugar, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, paprika, mustard and then add the salt and the pepper. Once you have done this, pour the sauce mixture into the slow cooker pot and add the pork, making sure to also coat it in sauce.
Pop the lid on top of the slow cooker and cook the pork. Do this on a low setting (one which the manufacturer recommends). Cook until the pork is tender for between 8-10 hours.
When it is finally cooked, move the pork from the slow cooker into a large bowl. Change the temperature setting on the cooker to ‘high’, cover the pot and then cook the sauce. Do this until boiling point is reached to make the mixture thicker.
Pull the pork apart into shreds (you can use 2 forks for this). Then put the shredded pork back into the slow cooker, mixing it into the sauce. Cover once again and cook on high.
Finally, once warmed through, spoon mixture into buns and serve.
