Categories     main-dish

Time 9h45m

Yield 15 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup yellow mustard
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
3 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 medium cloves garlic, crushed
2 cup chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
One 4 1/2- to 5-pound boneless or bone-in pork shoulder (also known as pork
butt), twine or netting removed
1/2 head green cabbage, finely shredded
1/2 head red cabbage, finely shredded
2 large carrots, finely shredded
1/2 red onion, finely sliced
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
15 soft hamburger buns

Steps:

  • For the BBQ sauce: Combine the ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, garlic, cider vinegar, Worcestershire, Cajun seasoning and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring until ingredients are completely incorporated. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently until the flavors have melded and sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. If not using right away, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
  • For the pulled pork: Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Spread out the onions and garlic in an even layer in a roasting pan and pour in the chicken stock. Combine the Cajun seasoning and brown sugar in a small bowl. Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels and then rub all over with the spice mixture. Set the pork on top of the onions and garlic and cover the roasting pan with foil. Transfer to the oven and cook until the pork is fork tender, 6 to 8 hours.
  • Remove the pork to a cutting board to cool. Strain the cooking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve and reserve.
  • If the pork has a bone, remove and discard it. With two forks, shred the meat into bite-size pieces, discarding any large pieces of fat. Return the shredded meat to the roasting pan. Add 2 cups of the BBQ sauce and a bit of the reserved cooking liquid if too dry.
  • For the coleslaw: Combine the red and green cabbage, carrots and red onions in a large bowl. Whisk together the mayonnaise, cider vinegar, sugar, and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl, and then add to the cabbage mixture. Mix well to combine. Taste for seasoning; adjust with more salt, pepper or sugar as needed.
  • Serve the pulled pork on buns topped with coleslaw.

SLOW-COOKER BBQ PULLED PORK SLIDERS WITH SLAW



Slow-Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork Sliders with Slaw image

Provided by Catherine McCord

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h30m

Yield 16 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
One 4-pound boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
3/4 cup chili sauce
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar (if unavailable, substitute light brown sugar)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded cabbage (about 1/3 head)
2 carrots, grated
16 slider buns or Hawaiian sweet rolls

Steps:

  • For the BBQ pork: Whisk together the smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder and onion powder in a large bowl. Add the pork shoulder and turn to coat.
  • Heat the oil in a large saute pan over low heat and cook the pork, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove the pork to a plate. Combine the onions with the chili sauce, vinegar, brown sugar and 1 cup water in a slow cooker and whisk together. Add the pork shoulder, cover and cook on low until the pork is hot and cooked through, 8 to 10 hours.
  • Remove the pork to a cutting board and set aside. Pour the liquid into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook over high heat until reduced by half or the sauce is thick, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, shred the pork with 2 forks or chop into pieces. Put back in the slow cooker and top with the reduced sauce, to taste.
  • For the slaw: Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the cabbage and carrots and toss until coated.
  • To serve, place the pulled pork on the bottom buns, top with the slaw, then close the sliders.

Tips:

  • For the best pulled pork, choose a pork shoulder or butt roast with a good amount of marbling. This will help the meat stay moist and flavorful during the cooking process.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different rubs and spices. There are many different ways to flavor pulled pork, so find a combination that you and your family enjoy.
  • Cook the pork shoulder low and slow. This will help the meat become tender and fall apart easily.
  • Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks or use a meat shredder. This will make it easier to serve and eat.
  • Serve the pulled pork on slider buns or rolls with your favorite toppings, such as barbecue sauce, coleslaw, and pickles.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork sliders are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
