Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 kilograms Pork shoulder
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 6 pieces Burger buns
- 2 cups Coleslaw
- 12 pieces Pickle slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Rub the pork shoulder with the spice mix, ensuring all sides are evenly coated.
In a large oven-proof pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the pot from heat, cover it with a lid, and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Cook the pork shoulder in the oven for 6-8 hours or until it is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Using two forks, shred the pork into large chunks and mix it with the BBQ sauce in the pot.
Melt butter in a pan over medium heat and lightly toast the burger buns until golden brown.
Assemble the pulled pork burgers by placing a generous amount of pulled pork onto the bottom half of each toasted bun.
Top the pulled pork with coleslaw and pickle slices.
Complete the burger by placing the top half of the bun over the pickles and serve immediately.
