All-Purpose Pork Shoulder

Directions

1. 1
   Rinse the pork, place on a cutting board, pat dry with paper towels and rub in the salt and pepper.
2. 2
   Set the pork in the bowl of a slow cooker, scatter the onion over the pork, sprinkle in the garlic and add the wine.
3. 3
   Cook until the meat easily pulls apart with a fork, about 5 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
4. 4
   Turn off the slow cooker and transfer the pork to a platter.
5. 5
   Use two forks to shred the meat.
6. 6
   If you don't have a slow cooker, you can braise the pork shoulder in a 325 degrees F oven for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours.
