Preparation
In The Oven
- Place oven rack in middle position. Preheat oven to 325°F (170°C).
- Place pork shoulder in an oven-safe casserole dish. Rub all over with jerk seasoning, brown sugar and salt. Allow pork to rest for 30 minutes
- Add pineapple juice and vinegar to casserole dish. Bring to a boil, cover and bake for 3–3.5 hours, turning meat and basting with cooking liquid occasionally, until meat flakes easily with a fork.
- Set meat aside on a baking sheet or large plate and let cool. Remove excess fat and shred meat with a fork. If necessary, reduce cooking juices to half or until slightly syrupy. Return meat to casserole dish and mix well.
- Meanwhile, for the garnishes, mix red onion, chili pepper, lime zest and juice, and pineapple juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Let marinate at room temperature.
- Melt butter in a large non-stick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add pineapple slices and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle pineapple with sugar and jerk seasoning. Continue cooking for a few minutes until pineapple is caramelized on both sides. Transfer to a plate and let cool. Chop pineapple and add to red onion mixture. Stir to combine.
- Serve pulled pork in the centre of the table. Make lettuce wraps garnished with pork, pineapple salsa, coleslaw, mango chutney and cilantro leaves.
