DUTCH OVEN PULLED PORK
A wonderful oven-roasted BBQ pulled pork made with about any pork roast in a Dutch oven. Low and slow roasting up above the juices is the key. Serve by itself or on buns. I like mine with coleslaw and a root beer-BBQ sauce on multi-grain buns. Baked beans are a nice side dish, too.

Tips:

- Don't skimp on the spices. A good rub will help to create a flavorful crust on the pork.
- Cook the pork on low heat for a long period of time. This will help to tenderize the meat and make it fall apart easily.
- Add some liquid to the Dutch oven during cooking. This will help to keep the pork moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Let the pork rest for at least 30 minutes before pulling it. This will help to redistribute the juices and make the meat even more tender.
