- 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT
- 2 wooden skewers
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Arrange an oven rack on the lowest setting, removing the other racks if needed.
- Place the pork shoulder on a cutting board and slice the meat into 2-inch (5 cm) thick slices.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, paprika, mustard powder, cumin, garlic powder, chile powder, coriander, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne.
- Sprinkle the spice mixture all over the sliced pork and toss to coat evenly.
- Set a wire rack over a baking sheet and grease with nonstick spray. Place the potato halves on the rack, cut sides down. Insert a skewer into each potato half.
- Thread the pork slices onto the skewers.
- Cover the pork tower with foil, place in the oven, and roast for 4 hours or until the pork is fully cooked and tender.
- To a small pot on medium heat, add oil, minced onion, garlic, and the leftover spice mixture. Stir the vegetables and cook until soft.
- Make the barbecue sauce: In a medium pot over medium heat, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, Dijon, and cayenne. Whisk and bring the sauce to a boil. Remove from the heat and set aside until ready to use.
- Once the pork is finished cooking, remove the foil and pour the barbecue sauce over the pork tower. Use a brush to evenly cover all of the meat.
- Return the pork to the oven for 30 minutes, or until the sauce starts to caramelize.
- Carve the pork tower with a serrated knife. Serve the meat on the buns, with sides like coleslaw, mac ‘n’ cheese, and pickles.
- Enjoy!
