Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork shoulder
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 6 pieces Hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 3 cups Coleslaw mix
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the pork shoulder all over with the spice mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Pour the chicken broth into the pot, cover it with a tight-fitting lid, and place it in the preheated oven.
Cook for 3.5 to 4 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender and easily shredded. While the pork cooks, prepare the coleslaw.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar until smooth.
Add the coleslaw mix to the dressing and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Using two forks, shred the pork into small pieces.
Brush the inside of each hamburger bun with melted butter and toast them on a skillet or grill until golden brown.
To assemble the sandwiches, pile the shredded pork onto the bottom buns, top with a generous scoop of coleslaw, and finish with the top buns.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious seasoned pork sandwiches!
