Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Heat oil in a large dutch oven over high heat until almost smoking. Season the entire pork with salt and pepper and sear on all sides in the hot oil. Add enough water or chicken stack to come half-way up the side of the pork, cover and roast for about 6 hours or until it is falling apart or a thermometer inserted registers 170 degrees f. Transfer to platter and let rest for at least 10 minutes. While the pork is still warm, take 2 forks and pull the meat with 1 fork and pulling it away with the other, divide the pork between 2 bowls and pour ½ of the mustard
