- Heat a dutch oven to medium high and add 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Brown half of the pork pieces, removing them and placing in a bowl; Repeat with the other half of the pork.
- Cover with a lid and cook in the oven for about 2-3 hours, until the pieces start to pull apart easily and the meat is very tender.
- When the pork is done cooking, remove it to a board, and let cool for at least 20 minutes before shredding with a fork.
- Take the leftover liquid and strain it to remove any solids.
- Remove the fat from the liquid by putting it in a ziplock bag and letting the fat rise to the top.
