Yield Makes 8 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 garlic cloves, minced (1 1/2 tablespoons)
1/2 cup whole-grain mustard
1/3 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1/4 cup coarse salt
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons smoked paprika (penzeys.com)
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pork butt (5 pounds), skinned and boned
2 cups water
Basic Barbecue Sauce, any variation, to taste
8 sandwich buns
Pickled Cucumber, Red Onion, and Radishes

Steps:

  • Using a fork, mash together garlic, mustard, sugar, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl to form a paste.
  • Spread paste evenly over top of pork. Refrigerate in a roasting pan for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Add water to bottom of pan, and cover with foil. Cook, basting hourly, flipping halfway through, until pork is tender and pulls apart easily, about 6 hours. Let cool slightly. Using 2 forks, shred pork, and toss with barbecue sauce. Sandwich pork mixture between buns, topping the meat with pickled vegetables.
