Photo: Chocolate Pork Roast Sliders Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon whole coriander seeds
- 1 tablespoon whole white peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons sea salt
- 1 tablespoon ground ancho chile pepper
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- One 4-pound Boston butt pork roast
- 1 cup beef stock
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 6 to 8 hamburger buns
- Pickle spear, optional
Directions
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
In a small skillet, combine the coriander seeds and peppercorns. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and toasted, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. In a coffee grinder, process the spices until finely ground.
In a small bowl, combine the peppercorn mixture, salt, ancho chile pepper, cinnamon and cocoa. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork roast.
In a Dutch oven, combine the beef stock and onions. Add the roast to the Dutch oven. Cover and bake until very tender, about 3 hours.
Using two forks, shred the roast. Serve on buns with pickle spears if desired.

I substituted chipotle chili powder for the ancho. I came out a little too hot. Used boneless boston butt and it was falling off bone in 3 hours.

WOW! Fantastically flavored meat!!! I made the recipe exactly as written and it was truly amazing and really easy. Well, one modification, I cooked it an hour longer than called for as we really like the meat to fall apart. This was the first of many times I'll be making this dish. The slaw complimented it perfectly.

Fantastic flavor although I did make a lot of modifications just based on pantry supplies. I did not have white peppercorns but had pink ones. I did not have ancho chili powder but had chipotle red pepper flakes which I ground with the peppercorns and coriander. I had special dark unsweetened cocoa. I also browned the meat in a pan after the seasoning then deglazed with the broth and put everything in the crockpot. The flavor was fantastic. A total winner recipe. I cannot wait to eat the leftovers.
