Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp light brown sugar
2 tsp hot paprika
1 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 3 - to-4-lb boneless pork shoulder , trimmed of excess fat
2 tsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar , plus more to taste
3 tbsp tomato paste
6 potato buns
barbecue sauce and prepared coleslaw , for serving

Directions:

Combine 1 tablespoon brown sugar, the paprika, mustard powder, cumin, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet; add the pork and cook, turning, until browned on all sides, 5 minutes. Remove the pork and transfer to a plate; whisk 3/4 cup water into the drippings in the skillet. Transfer the liquid to a 5-to-6-quart slow cooker.
Add the vinegar, tomato paste, the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 2 cups water to the slow cooker and whisk to combine. Add the pork, cover and cook on low, 8 hours.
Remove the pork and transfer to a cutting board. Strain the liquid into a saucepan, bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Season with salt. Roughly chop the pork and mix in a bowl with 1 cup of the reduced cooking liquid, and salt and vinegar to taste. Serve on buns with barbecue sauce and coleslaw.
