Tasty Shredded Pork with Yummy Sauce

Here is a simple, make ahead and let cook all day recipes.  Prep during breakfast time, place in slow-cooker and serve at the busy dinner time.
The entire family will love this dinner - you can puree the meat and sauce for baby food, shred fine for the toddlers or serve everywhich way and that - on pasta, rice, buns, salad, risotto, potatoes, shredded veggies, noodles etc.! 

Approx 3 1/2 lb.(1.75kg) Pork Shoulder Roast
Salt & pepper
Vegetable oil to saute
Diced onion
Spoonful of jarred minced garlic
2 tablespoons chili powder
3 teaspoons ground coriander
Bay leaf
1 large can (795ml) of diced tomatoes
1/4 cup tomato paste (or 1/4 cup ketchup)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Salt and pepper the pork roast.  In a dutch oven, heat vegetable oil and brown pork all over.  Transfer to slow cooker.
In the hot dutch oven, saute the onions, garlet, chili powder, coriander and bay leaf until onions are softened.  Add canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste or ketchup, sugar, vinegar and worchestershire.  Bring to a boil.  Add this over the pork in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low until tender, 8 -10 hours.
When finished the pork should be very tender.  Carefully transfer pork to cutting board and shred pork with two forks.
Meanwhile, if there is any fat on the liquid, skim.  If wish you can boil the liquid to reduce to a thicker 'sauce' or just add shredded pork back into hot liquid.

Serve on rice, pasta, cooked shredded zucchini and carrots or serve on a bun as a 'sloppy pulled pork bunwich'.

Have fun with the spices.  Feel free to change the flavour by adding more spicy and zip or try some oriental flavour like Chinese 5-spice, anise, fennel etc.
