For the Pulled Pork
- 8 pounds pork shoulder bone-in
- 1 can chiles in adobo sauce
- ½ bunch fresh cilantro stems on
- ¾ cup stock pork, beef, chicken, or veggie
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Add the pork to a roasting pan. Cover with the dry spice rub mixture and pat the seasoning into the meat.
- Spoon the adobo sauce from the can onto the pork. You can use the actual chiles in another recipe or discard them. Rub the adobo into the pork with the backside of a spoon.
- Add the stock to the roasting pan and place the pan in the oven for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove from the oven. Layer the cilantro over the top of the pork and cover the roasting pan tightly with foil.

- Remove from the oven. Transfer the pork from the roasting pan onto a rimmed baking sheet. Using forks, shred the meat and discard any fatty sections.
- Add back in some of the pot juices and enjoy hot!
