Thread: Pulled Pork with Caramelized Onions

Pulled Pork with Caramelized Onions




8 servings, about 1 cup each.

Total Time: 5-9 hours


Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 large onions, thinly sliced
• 1/3 cup raw cane sugar,
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt substitute
• 1/3 cup cider vinegar
• 1 cup chili sauce
• 1 1/2-3 teaspoons minced chipotle chile in adobo sauce
• 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder or blade (butt) roast, trimmed

Preparation

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, 3 to 6 minutes. Add sugar and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the onions are golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes more. Add garlic, oregano, pepper and salt and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add vinegar and bring to a boil. Cook until mostly evaporated, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in chili sauce and chipotle to taste.
2. Place pork in a 4-quart (or larger) slow cooker and cover with the sauce. Cover and cook until the pork is almost falling apart, about 4 hours on High or 8 hours on Low.
3. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and shred using two forks. Stir back into the sauce.
4. Serve on Whole Wheat rolls.
