Ingredients
- 8– 10pound pork shoulder roastbone-in
- 3 1/2cups cider vinegar
- 1 1/2tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 1/2tablespoons hot chili flakes
- 1teaspoon fresh basilminced
- 1teaspoon fresh rosemaryminced
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat all ingredients except the pork, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and allow to cool – reserve about 2 cups to serve with the sandwiches.
- With a sharp knife, score the pork rind with a crosshatch pattern, cutting through the skin and fat but stopping short of the meat – rub all over with salt and pepper.
- Place the roast, skin side up on the grill – brush with the sauce and cook over low, indirect heat, 300 F, and brush with the sauce. Turn and brush with sauce every 30 minutes until fork tender and the internal temperature away from the bone hits 190 F.
- Transfer to a cutting board and slice away the rind and fat. When the meat is cool enough to handles, pull apart the meat with two forks. Pile onto fresh, soft buns, add some coleslaw and a drizzle of the reserved sauce.
- An all-day recipe, be sure to give yourself enough time to have everything ready before your guests show up.
