Prepare
- 4 lbs boneless pork shoulder or butt, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 6 pieces

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a 5- to 7-quart slow cooker, combine the chopped onion, chopped garlic, ketchup, tomato paste, mustard powder, cumin seed, smoked paprika, and 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, and stir to blend.
-
Step 2.
Season the pork pieces with salt and pepper, then place them on top of the ketchup mixture in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 5 to 6 hours, or on low for 10 to 12 hours, until the pork is very tender and easily shreds with two forks.
-
Step 3.
Transfer the cooked pork to a cutting board and shred the meat with two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker, stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and set the slow cooker to warm.
-
Step 4.
While the pork cooks, prepare the slaw: In a bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, thinly sliced carrot, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and country-style Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
-
Step 5.
Serve the pulled pork and cabbage slaw on hamburger buns.
