Scrape down sides of bowl, place on low and slowly drizzle in olive oil, until desired consistency. Stores up to 3 days, in airtight container, refrigerated, some oxidization may occur.

Pork:
Combine dry ingredients. Rub pork. Allow to marinate in fridge for at least 1hr (up to 12 hours).

When ready, remove from fridge and preheat oven to 300°F. Bake in a covered, lightly oiled roasting pan, approx. 4-5 hours or until pulls apart easily.
