Yield Makes 6 to 8 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 12

16 cloves garlic, peeled
2 small yellow onions, coarsely chopped
1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
1 large rib celery, chopped
3 tablespoons ground cumin
1/4 cup coarse salt
1 (5-pound) pork butt
4 cups Barbecue Sauce
Shredded iceberg lettuce, for serving
6 to 8 ciabatta rolls, halved horizontally, soft centers removed, toasted, for serving
Garlic Dill Pickles, for serving
Coleslaw, for serving

Steps:

  • Place garlic, onions, carrot, celery, cumin, and salt in the bowl of a food processor; process until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add 1/2 cup water; process until well combined. Place pork in a large, deep roasting pan. Rub pork generously with vegetable puree; cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add enough water to the roasting pan so that it comes halfway up the sides of the pork. Cover pan tightly with parchment paper-lined aluminum foil and transfer to oven. Bake until pork is very tender and falling apart, about 5 hours, checking pan occasionally to make sure water has not evaporated and adding more water as necessary.
  • Remove pork from oven. Let stand until cool enough to handle. (At this point, pork may be kept refrigerated and covered for up to 5 days.)
  • Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
  • Shred pork with a fork or pull apart using your fingers; discard any excess fat. In a large baking dish, combine shredded pork with 3 cups barbecue sauce. Transfer to oven and cook until mixture is heated through and bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Divide pork and shredded lettuce evenly among rolls. Serve with remaining cup of barbecue sauce, pickles, and coleslaw.

This recipe was a complete disaster! The pork was tough and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The pork was a little dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I would cook the pork for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less brown sugar next time.

This is my go-to recipe for pulled pork sandwiches. It's easy to make and always turns out great. I like to use a combination of apple cider vinegar and brown sugar in the sauce, and I always add a little bit of cayenne pepper for a little kick.

This recipe is a keeper! The pork was fall-apart tender and the sauce was tangy and sweet. I served it on King's Hawaiian rolls and it was a hit with the whole family.
