- Arrange the roast in the bottom of a large, oven-safe Dutch oven or crockpot bowl.
- In a blender, blend the olive oil, tomato paste, tamari/soy sauce, vinegar, honey, ginger, chipotle, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper until the chilies are chopped. Pour the sauce over the roast, tossing to coat. Snuggle 1 1/2 cups pineapple around the roast. Pour over 1 cup water.
- Oven: Cover and roast for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until very tender. Crockpot: Cover and cook on LOW for 5 hours or on HIGH for 3 hours.
- Meanwhile, make the salsa by mixing 1 1/2 cups chopped pineapple with the avocado, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice.
- If using the oven, crank the heat up to 425° F, uncover, and cook the roast for 10 minutes until deeply caramelized on top. Shred the meat using two forks.
- To make the bang bang sauce, combine mayo, sweet Thai chili sauce, tamari/soy sauce, garlic, lime zest, and chopped pickled ginger in a bowl.
- Serve the meat and pineapple over bowls of rice. Top with the pineapple salsa and bang bang sauce. Enjoy!
