Pulled Pork Shoulder recipe - The Daily Meal

Do you have 24 hours' advance notice to barbecue a big cut? Marinate a pork shoulder (or the smaller upper piece of the shoulder sometimes labeled a "Boston butt") for 12 hours, then cook low-and-slow for 6 to 8 hours over charcoal for tender and savory pulled pork (you can also do this in the oven or slow cooker, if you must). Plan ahead, and you'll have leftover pulled pork for sandwiches, tacos, burritos, stir-fries, fried rice, or to top salads.This recipe is by Robin Mather, author of "The Feast Nearby" (Ten Speed Press, 2011), a collection of essays and recipes from a year of eating locally on a budget. This recipe was originally published in the Chicago Tribune.

Pulled pork barbecue is one of life’s simple pleasures — fork-tender meat bathed in barbecue sauce and served on a soft roll with a side of slaw. The idea of making pulled pork instead of buying it at your local BBQ joint may not have occurred to you. But pulled pork is so simple to make in your pressure cooker and it takes only forty-five minutes. The beauty of making it at home is that you can serve several different barbecue sauces to complement the meat. We love it Alabama style.
