Preparation

Step 1

1 Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).

2 In a large ovenproof pot, heat oil over medium-high. Season pork well with salt and sear in oil until well browned on all sides, about 20 minutes depending on surface area of pot. Be sure to use a pot large enough to prevent the pork from being overcrowded.

3 Remove browned meat from the pot and set aside. Drain o_ excess fat and return pork, onions, garlic and 1 cup (250 mL) of the barbecue sauce to the pot. Add enough water to come 2_inches (5 cm) up side of pot.

4 Cover and bring to the boil, place covered pot in preheated oven, and bake for 2 hours, rotating the pieces of pork halfway through.

5 Remove meat from pot along with 2 cups (500 mL) cooking liquid and place them both in refrigerator to cool slightly. Discard pot ingredients and reserve pot.

6 Shred the meat from the cooled pork pieces into the reserved pot, shred with fingers or a fork and discard any large fatty pieces.

7 Once all the meat is in the pot add the rest of the barbecue sauce, 11/2 cups (375 mL) of the reserved cooking liquid, vinegar and black pepper. Warm through while stirring. Season to taste and add more cooking liquid if desired.

8 Once cooled, divide pulled pork mixture into 6 equal quantities and place in freezer bags, freeze until ready to use.

9 To serve: thaw freezer bag of pork and heat mixture through in a small pot; reseason if necessary. Place the pulled pork on lightly toasted baguette slices and top with Red Cabbage Slaw (recipe follows). Serve warm. Also try serving on miniature burger buns or croissants.
