Spicy Pulled Pork

This is the face of the man I love eating PW's Spicy Pulled Pork.  What you don't see is that he was finishing his second sandwich.  What you don't see is that for lunch today, we finished up the rest of the pulled pork.  What you don't see is that he had two more sandwiches, and finished up the leftovers in the container.  THAT'S how good this pulled pork is.  And it's so easy.  PW's recipe calls for a 5-7 pound pork shoulder, but the roast I used was almost 2 pounds.  You'd be feeding the neighborhood with 7 pounds...maybe you want to do that.  I'm not really neighborly.

Here we go:

Pork shoulder (anywhere from 2-7 pounds...)
1 onion, cut into quarters
1 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 c brown sugar
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tsp dried oregano (I used 2 tsp accidentally...can't imagine you'd notice...more is more!)
2 tsp ground cumin
1-2 Tbsp salt, to taste (I did 2 Tbsp and I thought maybe next time 1 would be good)
Ground black pepper
3 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp vinegar

In a blender or food processor, combine the onion, all the spices, olive oil, and vinegar until completely blended.  It will look like a sauce.  It is fantastic.
In a roasting pan or Dutch Oven, pour the sauce over the pork and turn it to coat.  Cover and roast 6-7 hours (my small roast took 3-4 hours) and shred.

We sauced our own sandwiches with BBQ sauce, but you could use this on pizza, nachos, soft tacos...or just eat it straight out the container.

Broccoli slaw (with homemade dressing...don't buy expensive coleslaw dressing!  DIY!) and 8 napkins, and you have yourself dinner.
