Ingredients
One 4- to 5-pound boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt), fat cap removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons ground cumin
Two 15.5-ounce jars salsa (mild, medium, or hot, however you like it)
1/2 cup peanut butter
Garlic Mashed Potatoes, for serving, recipe follows
Garlic Mashed Potatoes :
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
One 24-ounce package prepared Yukon gold garlic mashed potatoes, preferably Good & Gather
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Directions
- Sprinkle the pork butt generously with salt, black pepper and about a tablespoon ground cumin. Place in a slow cooker.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the salsa, peanut butter and remaining tablespoon cumin. Pour into the slow cooker over the pork butt. Cook on low for 8 hours, or until fork tender.
- Remove the pork butt from the slow cooker and shred with 2 forks. Serve in bowls over the Mashed Potatoes, topped with a ladle of the cooking liquid from the slow cooker.
Garlic Mashed Potatoes :
- Add the butter to a medium pot and place over medium-low heat. Once melted, add the garlic and cook until the garlic flavor is infused into the butter, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the mashed potatoes and mix to combine. Cook until the mashed potatoes are heated through, about 5 minutes. Top with the scallions and serve.
