Pulled pork

Ingredients for 8 servings:

• 1 tsp vegetable oil
• 1.8 kg pork shoulder
• 235 ml barbecue sauce
• 120 ml cola
• 120 ml chicken broth
• 55 g brown sugar
• 1 tbsp mustard
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 large onion(s)
• 2 large garlic cloves
• ½ tsp thyme
• 8 hamburger buns
• some butter

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 6 hours; Total time approx. 6 hours 15 minutes

Preheat the oven to 120°C (250°F) top/bottom heat. Pour the vegetable oil into a roasting pan. Place the pork shoulder in the roasting pan. In a large bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, cola, and chicken broth. Add the brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, onions, and garlic and mix well. Add thyme, if desired. Pour the mixture over the meat and place the roasting pan in the oven. Place the roasting pan, covered, in the oven for 5 to 6 hours (after 5 hours, do the “pull test” with two forks to see if the meat pulls apart easily). After this time, the meat should pull apart easily. Then remove the meat from the roasting pan and pull it apart on a board using two forks. Return the meat to the sauce and mix well. Brush the insides of the hamburger buns with butter and brown them briefly in a pan, bun-side down. Spoon the meat into the toasted buns.
