Steps:
- For the roast pork: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, cinnamon and cumin to make a dry rub. Massage the rub over the pork, making sure to rub it in between the scored fat cap. Wrap the pork in plastic wrap and let it sit for 2 hours or overnight in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F with the oven rack in the middle position.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the pork and place in a Dutch oven with a lid. Cover and place in the oven to roast for 3 hours. After 3 hours, uncover and cook for another 45 minutes to brown the fat and cook until the pork registers 200 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the oven and let rest for 20 minutes.
- For the sandwich build: Using two forks or your hands, pull apart the warm pork. Toss with the Chile Sauce. Butter and toast the buns until golden brown. Place ample quantities of pork on the bottom bun and top with Grilled Pineapple Relish and shredded red cabbage. Do your best hula dance and enjoy.
- Bring the vinegar, sugar, crushed red pepper, salt and garlic to a boil and cook until the sugar and salt dissolve. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, and then set aside until the pork is ready. Right before you toss in the pork, remove the smashed garlic cloves.
- Preheat a grill pan or grill over high heat. Rub the grill with a bit of oil and grill each side of the pineapple slices until dark grill marks appear, 3 to 5 minutes a side. Roughly chop the pineapple and add it to a bowl with the cilantro, ginger, lime juice, jalapeno and onions. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder or butt is the best cut for pulled pork because it's well-marbled and flavorful. It also becomes very tender when cooked slowly.
- Use a flavorful rub: The rub is what gives pulled pork its distinctive flavor. Be sure to use a rub that contains a variety of spices, herbs, and seasonings.
- Cook the pork slowly and low: Pulled pork should be cooked at a low temperature for a long period of time. This allows the connective tissue in the pork to break down and the meat to become tender and juicy.
- Shred the pork when it's done cooking: When the pork is done cooking, shred it with two forks. This will make it easier to eat and will also help the sauce to penetrate the meat.
- Use a good barbecue sauce: The barbecue sauce is what really makes pulled pork special. Choose a sauce that is flavorful and has a bit of a kick to it.
Conclusion:
Pulled pork sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They can be served on buns, rolls, or even tortillas. Pulled pork is also a great option for leftovers. It can be used in tacos, burritos, or even pasta dishes.
