SLOW COOKED PORK ROAST WITH HOMEMADE BARBECUE SAUCE



Slow Cooked Pork Roast with Homemade Barbecue Sauce image

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 36

1 pork shoulder roast (Boston Butt or Picnic roast), about 6 to 8 pounds
4 teaspoons Emeril's Original Essence
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Homemade Barbecue Sauce, recipe follows
10-12 Sandwich Buns, for serving
Classic Coleslaw, for serving, recipe follows
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups finely chopped onions
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 1/4 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 teaspoons Emeril's Bayou Blast
2 teaspoons ground mustard
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
One 6-ounce can tomato paste
1 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup cider vinegar
6 tablespoons dark brown sugar
3/4 cup mayonnaise, homemade or store-bought
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons buttermilk
4 teaspoons celery seeds
1 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups shredded green cabbage (about 1/2 head)
3 cups shredded red cabbage (about 1/2 head)
1 yellow bell pepper, finely diced
1 large carrot, shredded
1/2 cup grated yellow onion
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Slow Cooked Pork Roast: Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before proceeding.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a roasting pan with aluminum foil. Season the meat well on all sides with the Essence, salt, and cayenne pepper. Place a roasting rack inside the roasting pan and place the seasoned pork on the rack, fat side up. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 4 hours.
  • Remove the foil from the pan and continue to bake until the roast is very tender and will pull apart easily with a fork, about 2 hours longer. Remove the pork from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Remove any excess fat from the roast and discard (if desired - I just love the crunchy bits of skin left on top!)
  • Homemade Barbecue Sauce: In a medium non-reactive saucepan set over medium-high heat add the butter and, when melted, add the onions and cook until they are very soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, paprika, Bayou Blast, ground mustard, salt, crushed red pepper, black pepper and cayenne and cook for 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes, or until the tomato paste begins to brown. Add the water, cider vinegar and dark brown sugar and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and cook until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have come together, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Set aside to cool before serving.
  • Sauce may be made up to one week in advance and refrigerated in an airtight, non-reactive container. (Makes 3 cups)

A NICE SLOW-COOKED PORK



A Nice Slow-Cooked Pork image

Tender pork stewed all day in a crockpot with rosemary, mushrooms, onions, sherry, and potatoes. Simple and delicious, it's easy to make and easy to customize. If you're in a hurry and don't want to chop potatoes, or if it all doesn't fit in the crockpot, you could serve the dish with mashed or boiled potatoes later instead.

Tips for Making Slow-Cooked Pork:

  • Choose the right cut of pork. Pork shoulder, also known as pork butt, is the best cut for slow cooking because it is well-marbled and will become tender and flavorful when cooked low and slow.
  • Brown the pork before slow cooking. Browning the pork before slow cooking helps to develop flavor and color.
  • Add plenty of liquid to the slow cooker. The liquid will help to keep the pork moist and flavorful. You can use water, broth, or even a combination of both.
  • Season the pork generously. Use a variety of spices and herbs to season the pork, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Cook the pork on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the pork shoulder and the temperature of the slow cooker.
  • Let the pork rest before serving. Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before shredding or slicing. This will help the pork to retain its juices.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooked pork is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you are looking for a simple and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, slow-cooked pork is sure to please. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a flavorful and succulent slow-cooked pork dish that your family and friends will love.
