Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder
- 2 cups barbecue sauce
- 1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks (canned, in juice)
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder and place it on a cutting board.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, and paprika. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork shoulder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
In the slow cooker, add the diced yellow onion, minced garlic, and the can of pineapple chunks along with their juice.
Place the seared pork shoulder on top of the onion and pineapple mixture.
Pour the barbecue sauce evenly over the pork, ensuring the meat is well-coated.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 4-5 hours, until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once done, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred using two forks.
Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix thoroughly with the sauce and pineapple chunks.
Serve the BBQ Pineapple Pork warm over rice, in sandwiches, or with your favorite sides. Enjoy!
