Great for anything that pulled pork can go on. I always make this when my work place has any type of get together and I never have left overs to bring home.

How To Make slow cooked pork for tamales or sandwiches
-
Step 1Cover the pork shoulder in 2 tablespoons each of salt and cumin.
-
Step 2In a Dutch oven or cast iron skillet, heat up the oil and sear the pork. Make sure to sear all sides and not just the top and bottom.
-
Step 3If using a Dutch oven, heat the oven up to 250 and take the Dutch oven off heat. If using a slow cooker, move the pork to it now.
-
Step 4Add the stock, the rest of the cumin and salt, and all other ingredients to the pot.
-
Step 5Cover and cook in oven for 6 hours. In a slow cooker, cook between 6 to 8 hours on low.
-
Step 6Once done, drain the juice (I save my to make soup), pull apart meat and mix the ingredients cooked with the pork if desired.
-
Step 7Add you favorite BBQ sauce or eat as is. I use Bull's Eye Memphis Style BBQ, with a tablespoon more cumin and 1/2 tablespoon homemade chili powder added to it.
