• 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 onion, thickly sliced
• 6 pounds pork butt roast
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 1/4 cup brown sugar

1. Pour 1 teaspoon olive oil into a slow cooker and arrange sliced onion over oil. Place pork roast over onion.
2. Cook on Low until pork is very tender, 8 to 9 hours. Transfer roast to a platter and discard onion and liquid. Shred pork with two forks.
3. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a stock pot over medium heat; cook and stir chopped onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
