1
Turn your slow cooker on.
-
2
Put it on high for 6 hours.
-
3
Rinse your pork shoulder or butt.
-
4
Cut the ends off 2 onions and slice them in half lengthwise.
-
5
Peel off the skin.
-
6
Slice them thickly and place in the bottom of your slow cooker.
-
7
Take the whole head of garlic (thats about 10-12 cloves) and take it apart.
-
8
Smash each garlic clove with the side of your knife.
-
9
This smashing action loosens the skin, so all you have to do is pull the garlic out of the skin.
-
10
Place garlic on top of onions in the slow cooker.
-
11
Put your pork on top of the onions and garlic and fill the slow cooker with your broth/water.
-
12
If you use broth, you may only need a pinch of salt (especially if you are using store-bought/canned broth).
-
13
If you use water, you could add 2 tablespoons of salt.
-
14
I prefer broth, as it is so flavourful!
-
15
You can leave about an inch of the pork above water.
-
16
Now you want to add all the spices to the broth/water.
-
17
Place the lid on top and leave it alone for the next 6 hours.
-
18
When its done cooking, double-check with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat to ensure its well done (at least 160 degrees).
-
19
Carefully remove the pork to a plate/cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes.
-
20
Drain the broth through a sieve and set aside.
-
21
Youll need this yummy broth to help thin out your BBQ sauce.
-
22
With a fork, pull your pork apart.
-
23
This wont take much effort, but the more time you put into it, the smaller the bits of pulled pork will be.
-
24
Put the pork back into the slow cooker and set it for 1 hour on high.
-
25
Thinly slice the 1 remaining onion and place it in the slow cooker.
-
26
Top with as much BBQ sauce as you like, 2-3 cups of it.
-
27
Thin it out with 1 or 2 cups of the reserved broth.
-
28
Stir as you go, ensuring its not too thin or thick.
-
29
This part is all about YOUR personal preference.
-
30
Let it cook for the 1 hour.
-
31
Slice thick kaiser rolls.
-
32
I like to pinch some of the bread out of the center so that theres room for more pork!
-
33
;o) Generously fill the rolls with the pork.
-
34
Add cheese or a dollop of sour cream, if you like.
-
35
Provolone is an AWESOME cheese for this but any cheese will do.
-
36
ENJOY!
