Ingredients

• Pork shoulder - 500 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cayenne pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Apple cider vinegar - 2 tablespoons
• Sugar-free BBQ sauce - 100 grams
• Water - 200 milliliters

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
2. In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
3. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is evenly coated.
4. In a large oven-safe pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned.
5. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside. Pour in the water and apple cider vinegar, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze.
6. Return the pork to the pot, cover it with a lid, and place it in the preheated oven.
7. Cook for about 6-8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

9. Stir in the sugar-free BBQ sauce, mixing well to combine.
10. Serve warm, garnished with additional BBQ sauce if desired.
