Barbecue-Pork Pizza
Ingredients
·
3 1/2 lb. boneless pork shoulder (Boston
butt), trimmed and cut into 6 cubes
·
1 medium-size yellow onion,
trimmed, peeled, and quartered
·
6 large garlic cloves
·
1 Tbsp. kosher salt
·
1 cup barbecue sauce, divided
·
1 Tbsp. olive oil
·
16 oz. fresh pizza dough, at room temperature
·
8 oz. shredded low-moisture, part-skim mozzarella
cheese (about 2 cups)
·
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion (from 1
small onion)
·
1/3 cup drained, sliced pepperoncini
peppers
·
Chopped fresh cilantro, for
garnish
Directions
1. Combine pork shoulder, yellow onion, garlic, and salt in a large
Dutch oven with water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high; reduce to a
simmer. Cover and cook over medium-low, turning occasionally, until meat pulls
apart easily with a fork, about 2 hours.
2. Remove pork from Dutch oven. Place on a cutting board; shred using
2 forks. Discard fat. For leftovers, transfer 3 cups shredded pork to a medium
bowl and cool completely, about 30 minutes. Store, covered, in refrigerator for
up to 2 days.
3. Transfer remaining 2 cups shredded pork to a separate medium bowl.
Add 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce, and toss to coat.
4. Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a (15- x 10-inch) rimmed baking sheet
with oil. Gently stretch or roll pizza dough to cover bottom of pan. Spread
remaining 3/4 cup barbecue sauce over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
Sprinkle evenly with 1 1/2 cups of the mozzarella. Top evenly with shredded
pork, red onion, and pepperoncini peppers. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/2
cup shredded mozzarella.
5. Bake in preheated oven until crust is golden brown and mozzarella
is bubbly, 18 to 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes; cut into slices, and garnish
with cilantro leaves.
