Pulled Pork
I like to serve without the bun, and then if there are leftovers, have it on a bun for another meal. Or - make up a rice bowl, using this as your meat. Very versatile.

Ingredients:
| 1/4 cup | brown sugar |
| 1 tablespoon | chile powder |
| 1 tablespoon | paprika |
| 2 teaspoons | garlic powder |
| 2 teaspoons | kosher salt |
| 1 teaspoon | freshly ground black pepper |
| 1 teaspoon | cayenne pepper |
| 1 | pork shoulder roast (also called pork butt) |
| 4 | onions, cut into halves |
| 1 bottle | good barbecue sauce |
| good-quality hamburger rolls, for serving |
Directions:
Stir together the brown sugar, chile powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper and cayenne in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the pork shoulder. Wrap the pork in plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or preferably overnight. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Place the pork in a large pot on a bed of the onion halves. Roast until fork-tender and falling apart, about 7 hours. Remove the pork from the pot and set it on a cutting board. Place the pot on the stove over medium-high heat and add 1/2 to 1 cup of hot water. Scrape the pan to loosen up the bits and cook for 5 minutes to reduce. Pour in the barbecue sauce and stir to heat. Shred the meat with two forks, then toss in the barbecue sauce until it's coated to your liking! Serve on hamburger rolls.
