A delightful twist on the classic pulled pork sandwich, featuring a blend of spices and a slow-cooked tenderness.
Prepare the ingredients by dicing the onions and mincing the garlic.
Dicing the onions finely ensures they blend well into the sauce.
Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker and add the onions, garlic, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, paprika, cinnamon, clove, diced tomatoes, and salt.
Layer the ingredients evenly for consistent flavor distribution.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 1 hour.
Starting on high heat helps to kickstart the cooking process.
Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 8 hours or until the pork is tender.
Check occasionally to ensure the liquid level is sufficient.
Shred the pork using two forks and mix it with the sauce in the slow cooker.
Shredding the pork directly in the cooker helps it absorb more flavor.
Serve the pulled pork on toasted buns using a slotted spoon.
Toasting the buns adds a nice crunch to the sandwich.
