drooooolllll.... Me and jeremy fell in LOVE with this stuff when we were in the States a few months back. I made it for my birthday tea last night. No body over here (australia) had ever heared of it before! My whole family totally looooved it. Read more And yes it DOES take all day to cook, TOTALLY freakin worth it. Its pretty much the easiest dish in the whole world though. See less
Ingredients
- *** spice rub*** shopping list
- 1 Tbsp black pepper shopping list
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper shopping list
- 2 Tbsp chili powder shopping list
- 2 Tbsp cumin shopping list
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar shopping list
- 1 Tbsp oregano shopping list
- 4 Tbsp paprika shopping list
- 2 Tbsp salt shopping list
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar shopping list
- 1 Tbsp white pepper shopping list
- **************** shopping list
- 2-2.5 kg pork shoulder, Fat off. Mine didnt have a bone, but whatever. shopping list
- 1 onion, sliced shopping list
- 1 tsp liquid smoke, optional (if you can find it) shopping list
- BBQ sauce - your favourite, or see my recipe. But DONT use those dark-coloured "masterfoods" or "fountain" type ones we get here in Australia. They taste nothing like the REAL bbq sauce. shopping list
How to make it
- Combine all the spice rub ingredients in a bowl.
- Passage well into the pork shoulder, Really get it in there.
- Cover with plastic (or place in a big zip lock bag) and leave overnight, or up to 3 days.
- Place sliced onions in the bottom of your crock pot/slow cooker. Place pork on onions and add 1/4 cup of water and the liquid smoke if you're using it.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for one hour, then switch to LOW for like 8 hours.
- While its cooking DO NOT open the lid. You do NOT need to turn it or add more water or poke it or anything. It'll be fine ok? Trust me.
- Ok so while its doing its thing in there, you could make the BBQ sauce, go find my recipe, its good ok.
- After about 9 hours of cooking, remove the pork from the pot, this might be tricky because its to tender and juicy and falling-apart (i was amazed and how easy my fork went into it)... but yeah, take it out and PULL it apart. (this is where it gets its name, see?) i used some tongs and a big fork, but you can use your hands if its not too hot.
- Discard the juice and onions in the pot (seems like such a waste, i know.... maybe you could make a gravy out of it later...lemme know any good ideas).
- Return the now PULLED pork to the pot and add however much bbq sauce as you like. I didnt use much cause i have extra sauce on the pork when i make it into a sammich anyway. Cook for another hour or so.
- aaannnd...ITS DONE. finally. yess!
- Serve on soft white rolls/buns with sliced onion, pickles and extra bbq sauce.
- OM NOM NOM NOM.... the best. seriously. Do it.

Wow! This was really, really good! Worked perfectly! It definitely has a kick to it, though. I now know why pulled pork sandwiches are served with coleslaw on top!
