EASY OVEN PULLED PORK
This is my grandmother's no-fail pork recipe and it produces tender, moist, rich meat. Pulled pork is so versatile-use it in sandwiches, tacos, stews, and pasta ragu. Or make it ahead of time and keep it in a slow cooker for BBQ sliders. A great, inexpensive option to serve at a party. My favorite way to eat this is on a bun with lots of tangy barbecue sauce and slaw.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Use a pairing knife to cut 8 small slits into the pork, about 1 1/2 inches deep. Insert a garlic clove into each slit. Sprinkle pork evenly on all sides with salt and pepper. Place pork, fat-side up, in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Cook in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Carefully pour 3/4 cup water around the sides of the pork. Cover with foil and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Remove foil and continue to cook until pork is tender and meat has pulled away from the bone, about 1 1/2 hours more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
- Remove from the oven and let stand for 20 minutes. Remove large fat layer and any other large pieces of fat. Pull pork apart and shred.

Steps:
- PREPARE BARBECUE PULLED PORK ROAST.
- Trim excess fat from the pork (Butt, Roast, or Shoulder). Leave some for flavor, but trimming now will reduce what you will need to skim off at the end of cooking.
- Place the Mojito Lime Seasoning, chili powder, black pepper, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and 2 minced garlic cloves in a large bowl. Add oil to make a paste. Rub all over the pork, working the spice mixture into the meat well.
- Wrap the pork tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Transfer the pork to a roasting pan with a rack. Allow to stand at room temperature while the oven heats to 400⁰ (F). Cook for 20 minutes. (preferably with convection) Transfer to a slow cooker.
- Blend the Kraft Original Thick & Spicy BBQ Sauce, Open Pit Original BBQ Sauce, dark brown sugar, mustard, A-1, Worcestershire, remaining garlic, and onion (reserve 2 TBS onion for the coleslaw.) Pour the mixture over the pork and add water to cover. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or until *very* tender.
- When pork is tender, skim off any fat. Transfer the pork to a large bowl. Use two forks to separate the meat into long strands (large serving forks work great.).
- Remove 2 cups of cooking juices to a saucepan. Whisk in the cornstarch and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until thickened and bubbling. Set aside.
- Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker; stir to combine with the remaining cooking juices.
- PREPARE COLESLAW.
- Core and shred cabbage into longish strands. Shred the carrot. Finely dice the onion.
- Combine the shredded cabbage, carrot, and onion in a large bowl.
- In a separate medium bowl, Whisk the salad dressings, Sweet 'N Low® (or sugar), vinegar, wasabi, salt, and celery seeds and blend thoroughly.
- Pour dressing mixture over shredded cabbage, carrot, and onion. Mix and toss to coat. Chill at least 2 hours before serving.
- Serve the pulled pork on soft rolls and drizzle with thickened sauce mixture to taste. Top with coleslaw or serve on the side.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Boston butt or shoulder roast are the most popular cuts for pulled pork because they are well-marbled and have a good amount of connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and makes the meat tender and flavorful.
- Use a good quality rub: A rub is a mixture of spices and herbs that is applied to the pork before cooking. It helps to flavor the meat and create a crispy crust.
- Cook the pork low and slow: Pulled pork is best cooked at a low temperature for a long period of time. This allows the connective tissue to break down and the flavors to develop.
- Use a smoker or slow cooker: A smoker or slow cooker is the best way to cook pulled pork because it allows the meat to cook evenly and slowly.
- Let the pork rest before shredding: Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before shredding. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat and makes it easier to shred.
Conclusion:
Pulled pork is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you serve it on a bun with barbecue sauce, in a taco, or on top of a salad, pulled pork is sure to be a hit. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make pulled pork at home.
