Let’s Make It Legendary
Step 1: Prepare the Pork
Start by rubbing your pork shoulder with smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper—this ensures every bite is infused with deep, smoky flavors.
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and sear the pork on all sides until golden brown. This step locks in the juices and gives it an irresistible caramelized crust.
Step 2: Set Up the Base
In your slow cooker or oven-safe dish, layer the sliced onions and minced garlic—these will release sweet, aromatic flavors as they cook.
Step 3: Combine the Sauce
In a bowl, mix together:
✅ 100 ml Texan Chipotle Sauce
✅ 200 ml chicken stock
✅ 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
✅ 2 tbsp brown sugar (optional)
Pour this smoky, tangy sauce over the pork, making sure it’s well-coated.
Step 4: Cook Low and Slow
• Slow Cooker: Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-6 hours—the longer, the better!
• Oven: Preheat to 150°C, cover with a lid or foil, and cook for 4-5 hours. Check occasionally to ensure there’s enough liquid.
Step 5: Shred & Sauce
Once the pork is fall-apart tender, transfer it to a cutting board and shred it with two forks. Skim excess fat from the cooking liquid and return the shredded pork to soak up all the flavors.
