Recipe type: Entree
Serves: 20
Ingredients
- 3½ cups cider vinegar (20 fl oz)
- 1½ tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp pepper
- 1 cup hot diced green chiles (Hatch Hot, Hot Select New Mexico)
- 1 cup diced Dynamite chiles (XX-Hot)
- 1 tsp hot red pepper flakes
- 1 (8-10 lb) bone-in pork shoulder roast (preferably butt end)
- 1 tsp liquid smoke
- Note: If you cannot get Dynamite chiles, just use 2 cups of the hot diced green chiles and add a tablespoon of the red pepper flakes. You can also add minced jalapeno or serrano chiles.
Instructions
- Heat the vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper in a saucepan until sugar is dissolved. Add chiles and pepper flakes.
- Place the pork roast in a 4 qt or larger crockpot. Pour vinegar mixture over the pork roast. Cover and cook on low for at least 6 hours or overnight. The pork should be tender and pull apart easily with a
- fork.
- Remove the roast from the liquid, place on a plate, cover and put in the refrigerator.
- If you wish to reduce the fat, pour the liquid into a pot or container and chill it for about 2 hours or until the fat begins to solidify on top. Skim the fat off the liquid with a slotted spoon and return the liquid to the crockpot. Add a teaspoon liquid smoke.
- Remove the roast from the refrigerator and use 2 forks to shred the meat. Put the shredded pork back in the liquid in the crockpot and cook on high for another 1 to 2 hours.
- Adjust salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Use a slotted spoon to serve or remove pork from the liquid. You may want to brown it in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Serve on hamburger buns, small rolls, or in a quesadilla. You may want to have a small crockpot on the side with the broth to pour over the pork. Great with coleslaw.
