Ingredients

Pork

  • 2.5 kg boneless pork shoulder
  • 2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

BBQ sauce

  • 200 mL tomato sauce
  • 60 mL apple cider vinegar
  • 60 mL molasses or treacle
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • Combine all dry rub ingredients in a bowl. Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towel.
  • Rub the spice mix all over the pork, into every fold. Rub Worcestershire on top.
  • Place the pork in a slow cooker. Cover. Cook on low for 8 hours, or high for 4-5 hours.
  • Combine all BBQ sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Simmer 5 minutes until thickened. Cool.
  • When the pork is done, transfer to a board. The bone (if any) should slide out cleanly.
  • Shred with two forks. Toss the shredded meat with half the BBQ sauce. Serve the rest at the table.
  • Pile onto brioche buns with coleslaw, pickles, and extra sauce.
