Pulled Pork Sandwiches

BBQ!!! YES! Nothin' better than summer bbq's.

This recipe is SUPER simple (What's easier than throwing everything in a crock pot??) and SO delicious. It was a titch spicy for the kids (that can be adjusted), but my husband and I loved it.

Ingredients for Pulled Pork
3 Tablespoons Canola Oil
3 lb boneless pork shoulder, cut into 3 equal pieces
1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
3/4 cup gluten free apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup gluten free tomato ketchup
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup gluten free molasses
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 Tablespoon gluten free Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Gluten free soft sandwich rolls split and toasted for serving

* Warm the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
* Add the pork pieces and brown well on all sides about 12 minutes total. Transfer the pork to the slow cooker.
* Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon fat from the frying pan and return the pan to medium-high heat.
* Add the onion and saute until golden, about five minutes.
* Add the vinegar and deglaze the pan, stirring to scrape up the browned bits on the pan bottom.
* Stir in the remaining ingredients.
* Cook, stirring occasionally just until the mixture begins to bubble.
* Pour over the pork in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on the high-heat setting for 4-5 hours or the low-heat setting for 8-10 hours.
* Transfer the pork pieces to a platter. Using a pair of forks, shred each piece of pork, removing and discarding any large pieces of fat.
* Skim off the excess fat from the surface of the sauce and return the pulled pork to the sauce. Stir together to combine.
* Serve the pork and sauce atop the gluten free sandwich rolls.
