PULLED PORK WITH BLACK PEPPER VINEGAR
Steps:
- Preheat grill or oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place pork in a medium roasting pan. Stir together the stock, vinegar, BBQ sauce, jalapenos, onion, and garlic in a bowl. Pour the mixture over the pork and season with salt and pepper. Cover the pan with foil and cook in the oven or on the grill for 3 1/2 to 4 hours or until the meat is fork tender. Let cool in the braising liquid, then drain the liquid from the meat and shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Serve on buns, drizzled with Black Pepper Vinaigrette.
- Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chili powders and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, except the peanut butter, and simmer for an additional 20 to 30 minutes or until thickened slightly, stirring occasionally. Transfer the mixture to a food processor with the peanut butter and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour into a bowl and allow to cool at room temperature.
- Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, and honey until combined. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Set aside until ready to use.

Steps:
- Add paprika, chili powder, cumin, brown sugar, salt, oregano, sugar, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to a small bowl and mix to combine. Rub the mixture into the pork roast, then wrap meat tightly with two layers of plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- About 1 hour prior to cooking, unwrap the roast and let it come to room temperature. At the same time, soak 3-4 cups of wood chunks in cold water and then drain.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat, then cook the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes. Add the ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, chili powder, and cayenne pepper, then reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Preheat grill to high. Place the wood chips in a smoker box or vented foil pouch and heat until they begin to smoke. Turn the heat down to medium. When your grill is about 250 degrees, place the pork on the grill and cook until it is fork-tender and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, about 5-6 hours. Rotate the meat every 45 minutes.
- Transfer the pork to a rimmed baking sheet. When cool enough to handle, use two large forks to shred the meat into bite-size pieces. Mound the meat onto a platter and toss with 1 cup of the barbecue sauce. Serve the remaining sauce with the buns of your choice.

Found this recipe in Chile Pepper magazine and modified it a bit. Never having had pulled pork in Lexington, I can't say whether or not it is authentic. I can say it was a really good addition to pulled pork.

Steps:

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: For pulled pork, you want to use a cut of meat that is tough and fatty, such as pork shoulder or pork butt. These cuts will become tender and flavorful when cooked slowly.
- Use a dry rub: A dry rub is a mixture of spices and herbs that is rubbed onto the pork before it is cooked. This helps to flavor the meat and create a crispy crust.
- Cook the pork slowly: Pulled pork is best cooked slowly over low heat. This allows the meat to become tender and juicy.
- Use a braising liquid: A braising liquid is a liquid that is added to the pork during cooking. This helps to keep the meat moist and flavorful.
- Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, it should be shredded using two forks. This will make it easier to eat.
Conclusion:
Pulled pork sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a mouthwatering pulled pork sandwich that will be the hit of your next party or gathering.
