Yield 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Rub:
2 tbsp dark brown sugar
1 tbsp paprika
2 tsp kosher salt
3 lbs pork shoulder, extra fat removed
BBQ Sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
2 tbsp peeled, minced ginger
1 onion
1 Serrano pepper, thinly sliced (less spice, no seeds)
Salt
2 cups mango purée
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup Worcestershire
2 tbsp molasses
Brioche rolls
Bread and butter pickles

Steps:

Rub: combine the brown sugar, paprika and salt in a small bowl and massage it into the pork shoulder until well coated. You could do this a day ahead and keep refrigerated until ready to use. Sauce: in a large saucepan, warm the oil over low heat until hot and shimmering. Add the cumin seeds; they will splutter! Then add ginger, onions, Serrano, and a little salt. Sauté until they soften, but don't let them get any color. Add the mango purée, lime juice, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and molasses. Simmer about 5 minutes. Taste and season. Add the pork shoulder to the saucepan, coating it with the sauce. Cover, and gently simmer until the pork falls apart easily, stirring and turn it often, about 3 hours. Remove the pork from the saucepan and shred with toe forks. Return it to the sauce wand stir to coat.
