Dales Pulled Pork Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Rinse pork loin and pat dry. Mix next 5 ingredients in a large bowl for the rub. Mix with hands to get lumps out of brown sugar. Coat pork. Keep leftovers for sauce.
• 2. In large pan, heat oil and add sliced garlic. Do not brown garlic. Add pork and brown on all sides. After browning, add 1 cup of water and place in heated 400 degree oven. Cook for about 1 hour, but check after 40 minutes.
• 3. Make sauce with remaining ingredients by putting into a good-sized pan. Heat over low to medium heat. Add leftover rub. Heat until all sugar is melted.
• 4. Take pork out of oven. It's done when you can pull the pork. When it's done, pull the pork, add the sauce and simmer on stove top until ready to serve.

Steps:

• For the pulled pork: Combine the pork, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, chili powder, chipotle powder, lager, 3 tablespoons vinegar, 2 teaspoons salt and the onions in a 6-quart slow cooker. Cook on high power for 6 hours.
• With a slotted spoon, transfer the pork to a cutting board and shred using two forks. Transfer to a bowl and add enough of the liquid from the slow cooker to generously moisten. Stir in the scallions and a splash of vinegar and season with salt to taste.
• For the fried shallots and chiles: Set a cooling rack over a baking sheet and set aside. Add enough oil to a medium saucepan to fill by 2 inches. Over medium heat, bring the oil to 340 degrees F. Meanwhile, put the egg whites in a medium bowl and whisk with a fork until frothy. In a separate bowl, combine the flour with the chili powder, cumin and some salt and pepper. In batches, add the chiles and shallots to the bowl of egg whites and toss to coat. Remove from the egg whites, allowing excess liquid to drain off, then place into the flour. Put the coated chiles and shallots onto the prepared cooling rack. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with celery salt.
• Serve the pulled pork topped with fried shallots and chiles, or assemble into sandwiches:
• Add the pulled pork to 6 slices of bread, then top with fried chiles and shallots, pickles and the remaining 6 slices bread.

Steps:

• Stir together the brown sugar, chile powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper and cayenne in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the pork shoulder. Wrap the pork in plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or preferably overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Place the pork in a large pot on a bed of the onion halves. Roast until fork-tender and falling apart, about 7 hours. Remove the pork from the pot and set it on a cutting board. Slice some of the onion.
• Place the pot on the stove over medium-high heat and add 1/2 to 1 cup of hot water. Scrape the pan to loosen up the bits and cook for 5 minutes to reduce. Pour in the barbecue sauce and stir to heat.
• Shred the meat with two forks, add the sliced onions to the pork and then toss in the barbecue sauce until it's coated to your liking! Serve on hamburger rolls.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 325°F Season the meat with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a 4 Qt pot over high heat and sear the meat on all sides till nicely browned. Remove the meat and set aside. Allow the pot to cool down and then sauté the onions and garlic over low heat in the same pot till the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the broth and heat while scraping the bottom of the pan. Stir in the liquid smoke and top it with the seared roast. Place a lid on top and bake in a preheated 325°F oven for 3 - 4 hours. DO NOT open the oven door during the first 3 hours of roasting time.
• Remove meat to a plate, cover it with a foil tent and allow it to rest for 15 minutes. Shred it with a couple of forks into fine shreds. Then return the meat to the broth in the cooker, stir well and use immediately or let it cool to room temperature. Transfer to freezer proof containers and freeze for future use or use immediately for making green chili or carnitas.
• Freezing the meat in broth allows the meat to remain tender and moist while in the frozen state, defrosting and reheating. This is an important note to adhere with freezing fresh fish as well, but use water instead of broth.
