Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 1 2-lb. boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • - ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons spicy yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pickle brine
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce
  • 1 package of Hawaiian slider buns

Essential Tools

  • 6–8-quart slow cooker

Directions

  1. Combine the pork, onion, garlic, water, salt, and a few grinds of pepper in a 6–8-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours.
  2. Remove the pork and garlic from the slow cooker to a bowl using a slotted spoon.
  3. Strain the juices, discarding the onion; transfer 3/4 cup of the juices to a small saucepan. Add the ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, pickle brine, and hot sauce. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is just starting to simmer and thicken, about 5 minutes.
  4. Mix the pork and sauce together. Serve on Hawaiian slider buns.
