Description

Freshly ground spices, barbecue sauce, and Guinness stout beer infuse tons of flavor into this simple slow cooker pulled pork.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
9 fluid ounces barbecue sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup Irish stout beer (such as Guinness®)
1 slice sweet onion, halved and sliced
4 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 (6 pound) pork butt roast

Directions

1 Grind peppercorns with cumin, fennel, and coriander seeds in a spice grinder; transfer to a slow cooker.
2 Add barbecue sauce, brown sugar, Guinness®, onion, garlic, paprika, sea salt, and chili powder to the slow cooker; stir until well mixed. Add pork roast and rub sauce all over.
3 Cover and cook until meat is tender and can easily be pulled apart with a fork, on Low for 12 hours. Alternatively, cook on High for 3 hours, then on Low for 4 to 5 hours.
4 Remove pork and roughly shred with two forks. Return shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix with the sauce. Serve immediately or keep warm until ready to serve.
