Best Recipe for Sweet and Spicy Shredded Pork
Ingredients
- 1 (5 to 7-pound) pork shoulder
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 2 onions, coarsely chopped
- 2 cups low-sodium broth or water
- 1 cup cola
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rinse and dry the pork shoulder.
- Mix together the brown sugar, garlic, cumin, salt, and cayenne. Rub the mixture generously and evenly over the pork shoulder.
- In a large roasting pan or Dutch oven, add the chopped onions, broth, and cola. Place the seasoned pork in the Dutch oven and roast for 4 to 6 hours, checking the pork every hour for tenderness and liquid level.
- When the pork is tender enough that it is falling apart, shred it with a fork. Reserve the juices and pour them over the shredded pork before serving.
