Place the onion cut into 4 pieces, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, mustard, coarse salt, and pepper in the mixing bowl and chop for 3 sec./speed 6. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, place the simmering basket on the mixing bowl lid, and sauté for 2 min./120°C/speed 1.
Add the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar to the mixing bowl, place the simmering basket on the mixing bowl lid, and cook for 10 min./120°C/speed 1. Once the sauce has cooked, divide it equally into four bowls and let it cool.
Score the pork, making shallow cuts on the surface with a sharp knife. These cuts allow the marinade to penetrate the meat better and ensure even cooking.
Preheat the oven to 150°C, with ventilation and heat from top to bottom. Coat the pork on all sides with the marinade from the first bowl and transfer it to a cast-iron pot (lightly greased with olive oil). Cover with a lid and place it in the oven for 90 minutes.
After 90 minutes, remove the pot from the oven, turn the pork over to the other side, and coat it with the marinade from the second bowl. Cover with the lid and return it to the oven for another 90 minutes.
Turn the pork over again, coat it with the marinade from the third bowl, and place it back in the oven for another 60 minutes.
After 60 minutes, remove the pot from the oven, coat the pork with the marinade from the fourth bowl, and return it to the oven without the lid for another 30 minutes to achieve a beautiful browning and a caramelized, flavorful crust. Use two forks to shred the meat into thin strips. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before serving to retain its juices and tender texture.
You can serve the pork with basmati rice (recipe available here) and arugula salad with Parmesan (recipe available here).
