Ingredients

• Pork shoulder - 500 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cayenne pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Apple cider vinegar - 120 ml
• Honey - 2 tablespoons
• Gluten-free barbecue sauce - 200 ml
• Gluten-free hamburger buns - 2
• Coleslaw mix - 100 grams

• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
2. In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper to create a spice rub.
3. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork shoulder.
4. In a large oven-safe pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
5. Once seared, remove the pot from heat and add apple cider vinegar and honey, stirring to combine.
6. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for about 3 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.
7. After cooking, remove the pork from the pot and shred it using two forks.
8. Mix the shredded pork with gluten-free barbecue sauce until well coated.
9. In a separate bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, and lemon juice to make the coleslaw.
10. To serve, place a generous amount of pulled pork on each gluten-free bun and top with coleslaw.
