Ingredients
- 2 lb Shoulder/Butt Picnic Pork Roast
- 1 tbsp. Tomato Paste
- 1 tsp. Ground Cumin
- 1 tsp. Paprika (Smoked paprika will give a true BBQ flavor)
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 1 tsp. Pepper
- 1 tbsp. Onion Powder
- 1 tbsp. Garlic Powder
- 1 tbsp. Coconut Aminos or Soy Sauce
- ¼ cup Apple Cider Vinegar
Preparation
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix together the tomato paste, ground cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, coconut aminos or soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar to create a spice rub.
Step 2
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork roast, ensuring all sides are coated.
Step 3
Place the seasoned pork roast in a slow cooker.
Step 4
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 8-10 hours or on high heat for 4-6 hours, until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Step 5
Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest for a few minutes.
Step 6
Using two forks, shred the pork into smaller pieces.
Step 7
Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it with the juices and flavors from the bottom of the pot.
Step 8
Cover the slow cooker again and let the shredded pork sit in the juices for an additional 15-30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 9
Serve and Enjoy!
