BBQ Pulled-Pork Sandwiches

• One 5-pound boneless pork shoulder, cut in half
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1/2 cup tomato paste
• 1 1/2 teaspoons hot paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar

3. Add the pork, fat side down, and cook over moderately high heat until browned all over, about 12 minutes total.
4. Transfer to a plate.
5. Add the tomato paste to the casserole and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until deep red, 2 minutes.
6. Add the paprika, cloves, allspice and brown sugar and cook until the sugar dissolves, about 30 seconds.
7. Add the vinegar and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits.
8. Add the molasses, ketchup, ground coffee and water and bring to a simmer.
9. Return the pork to the casserole.
10. Cover and cook over low heat, turning the pork in the sauce occasionally, until very tender, about 4 hours.
11. Transfer the pork to a large bowl; let rest for 30 minutes.
12. Meanwhile, skim the fat from the sauce.
13. Boil the sauce over moderately high heat until thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
