Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork shoulder (boneless)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite)
• 15 ounces diced tomatoes (canned, with juice)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
• 1 bay leaf
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork shoulder with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika on all sides.

Step 2

In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Sear the pork shoulder for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown, then remove it from the pot and set aside.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 5

Deglaze the pot by adding 1/2 cup of chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 6

Return the pork shoulder to the pot. Add the remaining chicken broth, BBQ sauce, diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato paste, carrots, celery, bay leaf, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

After the pork is tender and easily shreddable, remove it from the pot. Use two forks to shred the pork into bite-sized pieces, discarding any excess fat.

Step 9

Return the shredded pork to the pot. Stir in the frozen corn and let the stew simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or BBQ sauce if needed.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley, and enjoy!
