This isn't authentic, but an easier copycat that tastes like the same thing, minus the need to smoke a whole hog!

Preheat your oven to 325*F.

OvenPreheat

Step 2

Prep the pork by cutting into large cubes and studding it with garlic on all sides. Do this by making small cuts into the flesh and shoving a garlic clove in there. Coat all sides heavily with salt.

Step 3

In a dutch oven or oven safe pot with lid, over medium high heat, add oil all over and sear all sides of the pork until golden brown, working in batches not to crowd the pan.

Step 4

Add all the pork back to the pot and add chicken stock so it is half submerged. Add 1 tbsp of liquid smoke all over and bring the liquid up to a simmer. Once it is simmering, add the lid back to the pot and transfer to the oven. Bake for 2.5 hours.

Step 5

rom the pot, if it doesn't shred place back in the oven for another 30 minutes.

Step 6

Shred the pork and add 1 tsp of liquid smoke. Garnish with green onions and enjoy!
