Elaboración paso a paso
- Assemble the spice rub for the pork: In a dry, small skillet over medium-low heat, toast coriander, cumin and peppercorns until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle, grind toasted spices into a fine powder. Transfer to a bowl and mix with salt, mustard powder, chile powder and sugar.
- If your roast is tied up, untie it. Massage meat generously with spice rub. If you have time, let meat rest for an hour or two at room temperature, or refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
- Heat oven to 300 degrees convection. Place pork in a baking pan, ¾ full of broth and roast uncovered mid-rack for 4 hours or until meat is pull-apart tender and internal temperature reads 200 degrees on a meat thermometer. Go longer if necessary to reach the pull-apart texture and drape meat with foil if it starts to burn. Let meat cool for at least 30 minutes before pulling it apart and shredding with your hands or two forks. (This works best when the meat is warm but not hot.)
- Prepare the barbecue sauce: Combine ingredients in a medium pot. Simmer over medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce has deepened in color. Season with more hot sauce if you like. Add two-thirds of the sauce to meat and toss to coat, adding more sauce as needed. (Any leftover sauce will keep for at least 2 weeks in the refrigerator.)
- Make the slaw: Combine cabbage, onion and jalapeño in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add dressing to cabbage and toss well.
- Baste buns with butter and sprinkle evenly with dry garlic. Toast under the broiler for 2-3 minutes.
- Assemble sandwiches with meat then sauce and top with coleslaw.
- Place more sauce on the table for people to add as they wish.
Notas
Consider doubling the spice rub recipe and saving half for another time. The pork is alway great without a bun. Saves in the fridge for up to 4 days, but press plastic wrap down tightly on the meat or wrap to keep it moist. Add a little water to reheat and turn it over to re-distribute the juices before serving.
