Salt and pepper
8 soft buns, for serving
Black Pepper Vinaigrette, recipe follows
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 large Spanish onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons ancho chili powder
1 tablespoon pasilla chili powder
1 tablespoon New Mexican chili powder
3 cups canned plum tomatoes with juices, pureed
1 cup water
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 chipotle chiles in adobo, pureed
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 teaspoons honey
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat grill or oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place pork in a medium roasting pan. Stir together the stock, vinegar, BBQ sauce, jalapenos, onion, and garlic in a bowl. Pour the mixture over the pork and season with salt and pepper. Cover the pan with foil and cook in the oven or on the grill for 3 1/2 to 4 hours or until the meat is fork tender. Let cool in the braising liquid, then drain the liquid from the meat and shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Serve on buns, drizzled with Black Pepper Vinaigrette.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chili powders and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, except the peanut butter, and simmer for an additional 20 to 30 minutes or until thickened slightly, stirring occasionally. Transfer the mixture to a food processor with the peanut butter and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour into a bowl and allow to cool at room temperature.
  • Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, and honey until combined. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Set aside until ready to use.

PULLED PORK FINISHING SAUCE



Pulled Pork Finishing Sauce image

This thin, vinegar-based finishing sauce, which differs from a BBQ sauce, is the secret ingredient to kick up my smoked pulled pork. After you've pulled your pork butt, drizzle over the meat and combine. The vinegar adds contrast to the smoky flavor and cuts through the fat in the meat. It also helps mellow out the darker, gamier-tasting parts of the butt. This makes enough for a 8 pound pork butt/shoulder.

½ cup apple cider vinegar
1 ½ tablespoons dark brown sugar

Time 15m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons white pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (original recipe called for up to 1 1/2 tsp)
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup ketchup

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together and let sit for at least 10 minutes.
  • The longer it sits, the hotter it will get so start with a lesser amount of red pepper flakes if you're a wimp like me.
