How To Make shredded pork
-
Step 1Heat oven to 300 degrees.
-
Step 2Rinse and pat dry the pork shoulder.
-
Step 3To a food processor, add - oregano, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, garlic, olive oil, white wine, vinegar, brown sugar, and onion. Blend until totally combined.
-
Step 4Pour over pork shoulder and rub it in.
-
Step 5Place into a roasting pan or dutch oven and add 2 cups of water. Cover tightly and roast for several hours (3-6), turning once every hour.
-
Step 6When pork is fork tender (and falling apart), remove the lid and roast it, skin sdie up for another 15-20 minutes to get the skin crispy. (This is not a necessary step - and if I don't have time, I don't do this)
-
Step 7Let rest for 15 minutes before shredding. Remove fat from top of shoulder before shredding.
-
Step 8I let the juice cool, and skim off the fat. The pour juices over shredded pork.
-
Step 9Serve on buns or with warm tortillas.
-
Step 10You can also add EL PATO brand Tomato Sauce. Usually found in the mexican food section of the grocery store. For a little heat and tomato flavor.
-
Step 11I have also started this in the oven @ 400 degrees for the first hour to hour and a half, then turned it down to 325 to shorten the cooking duration.
