Serve over cooked orzo pasta or polenta, or you can certainly make some delicious sandwiches out of it too!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
PORK:
- 5 pounds bone-in pork loin roast
- 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, sliced and separated into rings
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Tabasco sauce, to taste
SAUCE:
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup cider vinegar
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- salt, to taste
Instructions
- Place the pork in your slow cooker, fat side up. Rub with garlic and top with onion (no liquid is necessary). Cook on low for 9 to 10 hours, or until the pork pulls apart fairly easily. Remove to a platter to cool. Once cooled, pull the pork apart and place in a large skillet (or Dutch oven).
- Prepare the sauce: Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat.
- Add the sauce to the pork. Stir in the lemon juice, vinegar and Tabasco (to taste). Cook over medium heat until bubbly, or place in a 375° oven for about 25 minutes.
