• 1 teaspoon dried basil

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 3-4 pounds pork roast (shoulder or butt), trimmed of excess fat
• Hard rolls, for serving

Instructions:

Let’s get cooking with these step-by-step instructions:

1. Saute Celery and Onion: Start by heating the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced celery and onions, and sauté until they are tender and fragrant.
2. Brown the Meat: Once the vegetables are softened, add the pork roast to the skillet. Brown the meat well on all sides, enhancing its flavor and locking in juices.
3. Transfer to Crock Pot: Carefully transfer the browned pork roast and sautéed vegetables to your crock pot or slow cooker.
4. Add Seasonings: Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, dried oregano, dried basil, dried rosemary, dried thyme, black pepper, dried parsley, and poultry seasoning over the pork roast.
5. Pour in Liquids: Pour the chicken broth and dry sherry over the seasoned pork roast, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
6. Mix Well: Gently stir the ingredients in the crock pot to combine the seasonings and liquids, coating the pork roast thoroughly.
7. Cook Low and Slow: Set your crock pot to low heat and cook the pork roast for 8 to 10 hours. Allow the meat to slow-cook until it becomes tender and easily shreds with a fork.
8. Serve: Once the pork is cooked to perfection, it’s time to assemble your sandwiches. Grab your favorite hard rolls, pile on the succulent shredded pork, and enjoy!
