I'm a Yank. This is a Southern dish. We meet in the middle. Pulled pork shoulder slow-cooked in spices and sauces, great for a low-stress day, potluck, or any get-together. Put it on before work, ready when you get home! Fantastic over a bun, johnnycake, or just by itself.

SOUTH CAROLINA CHOPPED BARBECUE



South Carolina Chopped Barbecue image

Provided by Patricia Wells

Categories     dinner, project, roasts, main course

Time 6h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 to 4 pounds pork shoulder, with bone
4 cloves garlic, peeled but left whole
1 cup apple cider vinegar
12 peppercorns
2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven, combine the pork, garlic, vinegar and peppercorns and add enough water to cover. Bring liquid to a boil over moderately high heat, skimming the froth as it rises to the surface. Simmer, partially covered, for about three hours, or until very tender.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by combining the vinegar, pepper and salt in a covered container, shaking vigorously to blend.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Remove the pork from the Dutch oven, discarding the liquid. Place pork on the rack of a roasting pan, and baste thoroughly with the spicy sauce. Baste every 15 minutes or so, turning the meat after 1 1/2 hours. It should roast for a total of about three hours with constant basting, so it does not dry out. The fat should be crisp.
  • Remove pork from the oven, chop very finely with a large knife, and sauce again. The mixture should be moist, but not soupy. Serve warm, with cole slaw and white bread.
