Ingredients

4 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 5-pound bone-in pork butt
1 tbsp canola oil
1 white onion
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup beef or chicken stock
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup cider vinegar

Steps

Mix the brown sugar, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper, then coat the pork.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the pork on all sides.
Place the onion and garlic in a 6-quart slow cooker, then add the pork, stock, ketchup, and vinegar.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, until the pork reaches 145 F and pulls apart easily.
Mix the coleslaw, red onion, oil, vinegar, sugar, caraway seeds, celery seed, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Shred the pork after a 15-minute rest, then stir the sour cream and horseradish together for the buns.
Fill the buns with pork and coleslaw, then serve with the sour cream mixture.
