Ingredients
- * 1 large onion, chopped
- * 6 garlic cloves, peeled
- * 1 pickled jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
- * 2 teaspoons of Chipotle chile powder
- * 1 Tbsp tomato paste
- * 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- * 3/4 cup distilled white vinegar
- * 1 teaspoon paprika
- * 1/3 cup ketchup
- * 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- * 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- * 1 bay leaf
- * Salt
- * 3 lbs of pork butt shoulder roast, trimmed of excess fat
- * Hamburger buns
Directions
-
Purée all of the sauce ingredients (everything except the bay leaf, the pork and the buns) in a blender until smooth. If you have extra time, marinate the pork in the sauce overnight or for several hours before cooking.
-
Put sauce, bay leaf, and pork into a large pot and add 1 quart of water. Bring mixture to a boil and simmer, covered, turning frequently, for 2 hours or until the meat pulls apart easily with a fork.
-
Remove from heat and cool pork in the sauce. When cool, remove the pork from the sauce and shred into small pieces. Set aside.
-
Reduce the sauce by two thirds. Add the pork back to the sauce. Salt to taste. Remove bay leaf before serving. Serve hot over open-face hamburger buns.
