Ingredients
- 1 kg pork shoulder (whole)
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 10 g salt
- 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 4 pcs hamburger buns or water rolls
- 4 pcs gherkins
- 1 head red onion
- 4 tablespoons mustard
Steps
- 1Preheat the oven to 100 ˚C.
- 2Rub the meat with oil on all sides, then season thoroughly with salt and pepper. Place it in a baking tray, pour water under it to a height of about 1.5 cm, and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- 3Place the tray in the oven and cook the meat for 10 hours. Then remove the foil, baste the meat with its own juices, and return it to the oven for another 4 hours.
- 4Remove from the oven and let the meat cool in the tray until it's no longer hot but still warm. Then, using two forks, shred the meat directly in the tray. Mix thoroughly with the remaining juices.
- 5Slice the gherkins diagonally, and the red onion into thin wedges.
- 6Cut the buns in half, spread with mustard, then pile on the pulled pork, sliced gherkins, and onion.
- 7Tip: Before serving, you can briefly toast the cut sides of the buns face down in a dry pan or on a grill for an even better taste experience. Choose the type of mustard according to your preference.
