Time 10h40m

Yield 10 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

1/2 cup spicy brown mustard
1/4 cup honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 7-to-9-pound bone-in pork shoulder, skin removed
10 crusty rolls, split
Coleslaw, for serving
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 medium onions, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup apricot preserves
1 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons hot chili sauce (such as Sriracha)
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

Prepare the pork: Combine the mustard, honey, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon pepper, the paprika and garlic in a bowl. Prick the pork on all sides (including the fat) with a paring knife, about 1/2 inch deep. Brush all over with the mustard mixture. Tightly wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours.
Unwrap the pork, place in a roasting pan and bring to room temperature. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
Transfer the pork to the oven and pour 1 inch hot water into the pan. Cook 3 hours, adding water as needed to maintain 1 inch.
Remove the pan from the oven, add water if needed and cover tightly with foil. Return to the oven and cook 6 more hours. Turn off the oven and let the pork rest inside, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, make the sauce: Melt the butter with the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and paprika and cook 2 to 3 more minutes (reduce the heat if the garlic starts to brown). Stir in the brown sugar, preserves, ketchup and chili sauce, stirring after each addition. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the vinegar. Add salt to taste.
Remove the pork from the oven and take the meat off the bone. Coarsely shred the meat using 2 carving forks. Toss with some of the barbecue sauce and pan juices and season with salt and pepper. Serve on rolls with coleslaw.

Tips:

For the best pulled pork, choose a pork shoulder or butt roast with good marbling. This will help ensure that the meat is tender and flavorful.
Season the pork roast generously with a rub made from brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This will help create a delicious crust on the outside of the meat.
Slow-cook the pork roast on low heat for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender. This will allow the flavors to develop and the meat to become incredibly juicy.
Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks. This will make it easy to serve and eat.
Serve the pulled pork on buns or tortillas, with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include barbecue sauce, coleslaw, and pickles.

Sunny's Easy 4-Ingredient Pulled Pork is a simple and delicious recipe that is perfect for a casual meal or a party. The pork is incredibly tender and flavorful, and the rub creates a delicious crust on the outside.
