Preparation

Step 1

To make the dry rub, mix together the sugar, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, celery seed and mustard powder. Reserve 4 Tbsp for serving later on. Generously rub the port butt with the seasonings, the cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 1 day in advance.

Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line a roasting pan with heavy-duty foil. Place the pork in the roasting pan, fat side up, and cook until tender, about 8-10 hours.

Once the meat is tender, remove it from the oven and let it rest 20 minutes before shredding.

Pile each bun with some port, barbecue sauce and slaw, if desired. Serve with extra rub.
