Happy New Year!!
I took a bit of a computer break over November and December. It was unplanned but well worth it. January will probably be low key while I get back in the swing of things around here.
Today is the first Secret Recipe Club reveal for 2013 and I got an amazing blog this month. Cooking in Stilettos is written by Aly who, like me, first found her passion for food from her grandfather.
Aly has some fabulous recipes on her blog but I knew as soon as I received the email which recipe I was going to make. I’ve had my eye on the Pulled Pork with Caramelized Onions since she first posted the recipe last January.
I had to make the recipe twice because the first time it was devoured before I could get any pictures of it. Not that anyone in my family complained about having to eat it again because we all loved it.
Chipotle Pulled Pork with Caramelized Onions
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 3 large onions, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup chili sauce (found near the ketchup)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons diced chipotles in adobo. Remove the seeds to lessen the heat if desired.
- 3 pounds boneless Boston butt or boneless pork loin roast
Cooking Directions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions and cook until they begin to soften.
- Sprinkle with the brown sugar and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown, which should take around ten minutes.
- Add the garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper and cook for another minute or two.
- Pour in the vinegar, bring to a boil and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the chili sauce and the chipotles in adobo.
- Place the roast in the insert of a 4 quart or larger slow cooker. Pour the sauce over the top.
- Cover and cook on low for eight hours or high for four hours or until the pork is tender. Shred and serve.
