Ingredients

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, thickly sliced
6 pounds pork butt roast
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
½ cup molasses
¼ cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

Pour 1 teaspoon olive oil into a slow cooker and arrange sliced onion over oil. Place pork roast over onion.
Cook on Low until pork is very tender, 8 to 9 hours. Transfer roast to a platter and discard onion and liquid. Shred pork with two forks.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a stock pot over medium heat; cook and stir chopped onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
