Cacoila Sandwich (Portugese Pulled Pork)
- 3 pounds pork butt boneless
- 1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons salt divided
- 1 1/4 teaspoons black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme or oregano, either one works well
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 cup white wine I use Casal Garcia Vinho Verde
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/8 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 bay leaf
- 6 buns or bulky rolls
- Note: Prep time does not include overnight marination in the dry rub.nnTrim excess fat off pork. Don't take too much off-it is needed for flavoring. Cut into 1-inch cubes. Combine all of the dry spices (use only 1 1/2 tsp. salt) for the rub. Sprinkle on pork, place in a zip lock bag, and seal. Massage dry rub into pork. Refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
- Combine wine, orange juice, red wine vinegar, and 2 teaspoons salt in a bowl. Place pork and spices in a dutch oven. Pour liquid into dutch oven. Tuck in a bay leaf. Cover and bake for about 3.5 hours or until fork tender.
- Remove pork from oven. Shred using forks. Skim the top layer of fat off the pork dripping/marinade. Mix shredded pork back in the dutch oven. Serve rolls or buns.
