During years of vacationing on the North Carolina coast, I became hooked on their pork barbecue. The version I developed is a favorite at potluck dinners. —Joseph Sarnoski, West Chester, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

  • 2 medium onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 boneless pork shoulder butt roast (3 to 4 pounds)
  • 8 kaiser rolls, split
  • Sliced sweet pickles, optional

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, saute onions in oil until tender. Add the garlic, pepper flakes and pepper; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the tomatoes, brown sugar, vinegar, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire and cumin. Cook over medium heat until heated through and sugar is dissolved.
  2. Cut roast in half. Place in a 5-qt. slow cooker; pour sauce over the top. Cover and cook on low for 10-12 hours or until meat is tender. Remove roast; cool slightly. Skim fat from cooking juices. Shred meat with 2 forks and return to the slow cooker. Heat through. With a slotted spoon, place 3/4 cup meat mixture on each roll. If desired, top with pickles.
