PULLED PORK SANDWICHES



Pulled Pork Sandwiches image

This recipe takes a good deal of time, but it yields a lot of sandwiches, more than enough for a sloppy, spicy dinner party feast. You'll roast a dry-rubbed pork shoulder in the oven until it's pull-apart tender, 3 or 4 hours that you can spend doing other things while your kitchen fills with the aroma of the cooking meat. Then you'll assemble a quick slaw and simmer a tangy barbecue sauce for about 10 minutes before putting it all out on the table with soft rolls. Serve the combination warm, at any time of the year, for a weekend project well worth an afternoon's work.

Time 6h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 1/2 teaspoons whole coriander seed
1 1/2 teaspoons whole cumin seed
1 1/2 teaspoons black peppercorns
2 1/4 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard powder
1 1/2 teaspoons chile powder
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
3 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder
Hamburger or brioche buns, for serving
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
2 garlic cloves, minced or grated
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons sweet or hot paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
Pinch of cayenne
Dash of hot sauce, more to taste
1 small head green cabbage, outer leaves removed, shredded (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 large jalapeño, seeded if desired, thinly sliced
3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Assemble the spice rub for the pork: In a dry, small skillet over medium-low heat, toast coriander, cumin and peppercorns until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle, grind toasted spices into a fine powder. Transfer to a bowl and mix with salt, mustard powder, chile powder and sugar.
  • If your roast is tied up, untie it. Massage meat generously with spice rub. If you have time, let meat rest for an hour or two at room temperature, or refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
  • Heat oven to 300 degrees. Place pork in a baking pan and roast for 3 to 4 hours or until meat is pull-apart tender and internal temperature reads 200 degrees on a meat thermometer. Let meat cool for at least 30 minutes before pulling it apart and shredding with your hands or two forks. (This works best when the meat is warm but not hot.)
  • Prepare the barbecue sauce: Combine ingredients in a medium pot. Simmer over medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce has deepened in color. Season with more hot sauce if you like. Add two-thirds of the sauce to meat and toss to coat, adding more sauce as needed. (Any leftover sauce will keep for at least 2 weeks in the refrigerator.)
  • Make the slaw: Combine cabbage, onion and jalapeño in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add dressing to cabbage and toss well.
  • Serve pulled pork with slaw, buns and hot sauce on the side, letting people assemble their own sandwiches.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: For pulled pork, you'll want to use a cut of meat that has a good amount of fat, such as a pork shoulder or pork butt. This will help the meat to stay moist and flavorful as it cooks.
  • Use a good quality coffee: The coffee you use in this recipe will have a big impact on the flavor of the pulled pork, so be sure to use a coffee that you enjoy drinking. A dark roast coffee will give the pulled pork a more intense flavor, while a light roast coffee will give it a more subtle flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pork: The pork should be cooked until it is tender and easily shreds, but be careful not to overcook it, as this will make it dry and tough.
  • Use a flavorful barbecue sauce: The barbecue sauce you use will also have a big impact on the flavor of the pulled pork. Be sure to use a sauce that you enjoy the taste of and that complements the flavor of the pork.
  • Serve the pulled pork on a good bun: The bun you use for your pulled pork sandwiches is also important. Choose a bun that is soft and fluffy, and that can hold up to the weight of the pulled pork and sauce.

Conclusion:

Coffee-braised pulled pork sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the coffee adds a unique and delicious flavor that will keep you coming back for more. So next time you're looking for a new pulled pork recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
