PLEASINGLY EASY PULLED PORK



Pleasingly Easy Pulled Pork image

Pulled pork, in its simplest and fastest of slow-cooked methods, begins with boneless pork shoulder. The top of a pork shoulder is referred to as a "butt" or "Boston butt" BUT it is shoulder meat nonetheless. It was shipped in barrels at one time, and it was buttressed up the sides of the barrels, as the fable goes. The higher the cut the fattier the meat; if you want to remove fat from pulled pork, make it a day ahead to cool it and skim.

Time 4h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 pounds boneless pork shoulder
About 1 tablespoon pimenton (smoked paprika)
About 1 tablespoon kosher salt
About 1 1/2 teaspoons (half a palm full) granulated garlic
About 1 1/2 teaspoons (half a palm full) granulated onion
About 1 1/2 teaspoons (half a palm full) dried oregano or marjoram
About 1 1/2 teaspoons (half a palm full) coarse black pepper
3 tablespoons neutral oil such as olive oil (NOT EVOO), safflower oil or canola oil
12 ounces (1 1/2 cups) lager, white wine or organic cloudy apple cider
1 1/2 cups chicken stock or bone broth
Barbecue Sauce, optional, recipe follows
2 tablespoons neutral oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeno or serrano pepper, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup cider or white vinegar
About 1 1/2 cups organic ketchup or tomato sauce
About 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
About 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
About 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper sauce, such as Frank's RedHot

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F, rack 1 rung below center.
  • Bring pork to room temperature, about 30 minutes, and pat dry.
  • Combine paprika, salt, garlic, onion, oregano or marjoram and pepper in a bowl, then coat meat evenly, rubbing mixture into meat.
  • Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat with oil, 3 turns of the pan. When oil ripples and smokes, add the meat and brown on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes total. Add beer, wine or cider and reduce a minute or so, then add stock. Cover and place in oven. Cook 3 hours until very tender, then shred meat with tines of 2 forks, removing larger pieces of fat or connective tissue as you work. Stir meat and drippings together with Barbecue Sauce, if using.
  • Heat oil in medium saucepot or skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add onions, chile, garlic, salt and pepper, then soften 5 to 6 minutes. Add vinegar and reduce 1 to 2 minutes, then add ketchup or sauce, Worcestershire, brown sugar and hot sauce. Simmer over low heat for flavors to combine. Add to pork and drippings and combine.

The easiest pulled pork recipe you'll ever make. No tricky measurements involved, minimal ingredients and a mouth-watering smoky barbecue result

Provided by Emma Freud

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 8h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp pepper
2 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp salt
2 medium mugfuls of cider
boneless shoulder of pork (about 2.5kg)
a mugful of a good smoky barbecue sauce
soft white rolls
coleslaw (see 'Goes well with...' below)

Steps:

  • Mix together 2 tsp each smoked paprika, ground cumin, pepper, and brown sugar, plus 1 tsp salt. Rub over the 2.5kg boneless shoulder of pork.
  • Put the pork in a big casserole dish, skin-side up, and pour in 2 medium mugfuls of cider.
  • Cover with a lid and cook in the oven at 150C/130C fan/gas 2 for anywhere between 4 and 8 hrs until falling apart. Check every few hours in case it gets dry - if it does, add another mugful of cider.
  • Take it out of the oven and put the meat in a big dish, leaving the liquid in the casserole.
  • Cut the skin off, then shred the meat using two forks. Ditch any fatty bits, and skim any excess fat off the surface of the sauce.
  • Add a mugful of a good smoky BBQ sauce to the casserole, mix it in, then ladle some into a bowl for dipping.
  • Put the pulled pork back in the casserole with the juices so it stays moist. Season to taste. Can be made one day ahead.
  • Serve in soft white rolls with coleslaw and the bowl of juices on the side for 'French dipping' the sandwich while you're eating.

EASY OVEN PULLED PORK



Easy Oven Pulled Pork image

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.

Categories     Pulled Pork

Time 4h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (5 pound) bone-in pork butt
8 cloves garlic
4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper

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.
