Slow Cooker Method
Place pork shoulder, onion, garlic, water, chili powder and salt into the pot, cover and let cook on ‘low’ for 7-8 hours or until pork is very tender and flesh flakes easily with a fork.
Oven Braising Method
Preheat oven to 300°F. Place pork shoulder, onion, garlic, water, chili powder and salt into a roasting pan, cover and roast for 4-5 hours, or until pork is very tender and flesh flakes easily with a fork.
Tangy Tomato Sauce
While pork is cooking, heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients and bring the sauce to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Remove from heat.
Ladle the sauce in batches into a blender or food processor (you may also use an immersion blender) and purée the sauce until smooth. Set aside.
To serve, remove pork from slow cooker or roasting pan. Pull the meat apart using two forks and mix with some of the sauce, reserving the rest for dipping.
