Time 5h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (5 to 7-pound) pork shoulder
1/2 cup light brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 onions, coarsely chopped
2 cups low-sodium broth or water
1 cup cola

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rinse and dry the pork shoulder.
  • Mix together the brown sugar, garlic, cumin, salt, and cayenne. Rub the mixture generously and evenly over the pork shoulder.
  • In a large roasting pan or Dutch oven, add the chopped onions, broth, and cola. Place the seasoned pork in the Dutch oven and roast for 4 to 6 hours, checking the pork every hour for tenderness and liquid level.
  • When the pork is tender enough that it is falling apart, shred it with a fork. Reserve the juices and pour them over the shredded pork before serving.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork. I always have a few pieces of pork leftover after a roast, and this is the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this dish was the perfect amount of heat for me. The sweetness of the sauce balanced out the spice perfectly.
