For the pork
• 5 lbs (2.26kgs) boneless Manx pork shoulder
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 finely chopped shallots
• 2 tbsps brown sugar
• 1 tbsp sea salt
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tbsps chipotle chili powder
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 3 tbsps olive oil

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 200C, trim all the fat from Manx pork and cut into pieces
2. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, salt, paprika, chilli powder, garlic, onion, cumin, oregano and black pepper
3. In a pan (with a little oil over a medium heat) add the pork and sear on all sides for about a minute (spices can burn quickly so take care)
4. Pour the lager (or apple juice) over the pork and cover with a lid, then transfer to the oven and cook until the pork is tender (approx 3 hours)
5. Remove the lid and cook until pork is very tender and pulls apart easily with a fork (this takes around 1 hour)
6. Remove pork from the oven and let it rest while you prepare the barbecue sauce
7. For the sauce, take the juices from the pan and mix in ketchup, apple juice, mustard, brown sugar, and Worcestershire Sauce, and warm over medium heat.
8. Bring the mixture to the boil and simmer until it thickens (about 7 minutes)
9. Using 2 forks shred the pork, mix the meat with half of the barbecue sauce
10. Serve with buns, barbecue sauce, and coleslaw on the side
Enjoy!
