Outstanding Oven Or Crockpot Porchetta Pulled Pork
- 1 6-8 lb boneless pork shoulder roast
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 4 fresh sage leaves
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fennel seeds
- 6 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1 1/2 black pepper
- 6 stalks celery, cut diagonally on the bias
- 2 onions, cut in thick slices
- Cut the pork roast into large pieces. Mix oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, fennel, garlic, salt and pepper in a food processor and process until smooth.
- Spread herb paste all over pork pieces, wrap in foil and let rest for 4 hours or overnight.
- If using the oven, preheat to 450 degrees. In a roasting pan, add the celery and onions with water up to 1/2 inch. Add the pork and roast uncovered for 1 hour. Meat should be brown.
- Cover the meat with foil and roast for an additional 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until meat is fork tender and pulls apart. Shred meat using two forks or the paddle attachment of a KitchenAid mixer (yes, it really works!)
- Crockpot directions: in a separate pan, saute the onions and celery until soft. Add to the crockpot with 1 cup water. Put the pork on top.
- Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Remove from crockpot and shred meat.
- Spread shredded meat and some of the juices on a baking sheet lined with foil and broil until the meat gets browned. Mix the meat up and repeat until most of it is browned.
- Serve on hard rolls with melted provolone cheese, the celery and onions, and the juices to dip the sandwiches in. Yum.
