Ingredients

2 1/2 lb boneless skinless pork shoulder, (1-inch chunks)
4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 bay leaves
2 tsp kosher salt, (more to taste)
1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
1/2 cup canola oil
1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
3 tsp yellow mustard
2 1/2 Tbsp tomato paste
3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
Epic BBQ pork rinds, for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 275°F. In a Dutch oven, put pork shoulder in a single layer. Add the oil, salt, garlic, and herbs. After covering with lid put in middle rack in the oven. Roast about 2 1/2 hours until meat becomes so tender that it falls apart. Remove from oven and discard herbs.
Let it rest until it’s cool enough to handle.
Fitted with a paddle attachment put meat to the bowl of a stand mixer. From the Dutch oven pour the the liquid into a measuring cup and put it aside. Stand mixer should be on low, increasing to medium. Meat will then begin to shred and break apart.
Until the pork is soft with a spreadable texture, slowly spoon in the liquid. (Note: Don’t use all the liquid because this amount depends on how fatty the pork shoulder was). Add in the pepper, vinegar, tomato paste, mustard, and salt and paprika to taste.
Serve with the pork rinds.
