Ingredients

¾ cloves, minced Garlic
¾ roll Hamburger bun
¼ tsp Chili powder
6 oz Pork shoulder- 🥄⅛ dash Salt
⅛ cup Distilled vinegar
⅛ tsp Paprika
¹⁄₁₆ cup Ketchup
¼ tsp Worcestershire sauce
⅛ leaf Bay leaf
⅛ large Onion
¼ tbsp Dijon mustard
¹⁄₁₆ cup packed Brown sugar
⅛ tbsp Tomato paste
⅛ pepper Jalapeno peppers
Directions
- 1
Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and seed and chop the jalapeño. Trim excess surface fat from the pork shoulder.
- 2
In a blender, combine the onion, garlic, jalapeño, chili powder, paprika, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, tomato paste, vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth.
- 3
Transfer the sauce to a large pot, add the bay leaf and pork, and pour in 1 quart water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook—turning the pork occasionally—until it shreds easily with a fork, about 2 hours.
- 4
Remove from the heat and let the pork cool in the liquid until manageable. Lift out the pork, discard any large fat, and shred into bite-size pieces.
- 5
Return the pot to medium heat and simmer the cooking liquid until reduced by about two-thirds and thickened. Stir the shredded pork back into the sauce, season with additional salt to taste, and discard the bay leaf. Serve hot on the hamburger buns.
