1 Teaspoon cumin
1/4 Teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

1 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder -- 2 inch cubes

4 large soft, sesame-topped buns

3 Scallions -- thinly sliced
1/3 cup Mayonnaise

Recipe

BBQ PORK: Preheat the oven to 325ºF. In a medium bowl, whisk together the molasses, vinegar, tomato paste, garlic, cumin, cayenne, paprika, coriander, salt and pepper. Place the pork cubes and bay leaves in a large, shallow glass baking dish. Add the molasses mixture and stir well to coat. Cover with foil and bake until pork is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

Remove the meat from the sauce and shred with a knife. Return the shredded meat to the baking dish and mix with the sauce. Slice the buns in half. Spoon the pork onto the bottom halves of the buns and mound 1/2 cup or more of the vegetable slaw on top. Cover with the bun tops and serve the remaining vegetable slaw on the side.

SLAW: In a large bowl, toss together the cabbage, red and green bell peppers, cucumber and scallions. Mix in the mayonnaise, vinegar, salt and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days before serving.
