Categories     Main Course

Time 9h

Number Of Ingredients 25

4 tablespoons brown sugar (divided)
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 5-pound bone-in pork butt (shoulder roast)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 medium white onion (chopped)
3 cloves garlic (minced or pressed)
1/2 cup beef or chicken stock
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup cider vinegar
10 cups shredded coleslaw mix (or 1 16-ounce bag)
1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)
1/3 cup canola oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 hamburger buns or rolls
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup prepared horseradish (or more to taste)

Steps:

  • Set a 6 quart slow cooker to high to preheat.
  • In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, paprika, cumin, coriander, kosher salt and black pepper together. Rub half of the mixture on the pork, setting aside the remaining spice rub. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or high sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork to the pan and brown evenly on each side, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the slow cooker and top with the pork butt. In a bowl or measuring cup, mix the remaining spice rub with the stock, ketchup, and vinegar then pour over the pork. Cover and cook on LOW for 8-9 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, or until fork tender.
  • Place the pork on a baking sheet or cutting board and let rest for 20-30 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Shred the pork into pieces and place in a bowl or back into the slow cooker insert.
  • Skim the fat from the cooking liquid and transfer to a blender. Blend until smooth then pour 1-2 cups of the liquid over the shredded pork and toss to combine.
  • Toss the coleslaw mix and red onion with the canola oil, apple cider vinegar, sugar, caraway seeds, celery seed, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour for flavors to blend.
  • In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with the prepared horseradish, adding more to taste.
  • Slather the horseradish mayo on one side of a bun, then top it with the shredded pork and crunchy slaw. Serve warm with extra dipping sauce if desired.

PULLED PORK SANDWICH WITH BBQ SAUCE AND COLESLAW



Pulled Pork Sandwich with BBQ Sauce and Coleslaw image

Provided by Amanda Freitag

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.

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.

COLESLAW TOPPING FOR PULLED MEAT SANDWICHES



Coleslaw Topping for Pulled Meat Sandwiches image

I can remember my mother making this in the late 50's. She got the recipe from a local V.F.W. Auxiliary that she was a member of. My family enjoys it. If you try it and can improve on it, let us know. Thanks.

Provided by Tom Collins

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 lbs finely chopped green cabbage
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup sweet relish
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup yellow mustard
1/4 cup vinegar (I use cider vinegar) or 1/4 cup cider vinegar (I use cider vinegar)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons horseradish, to taste (optional)
1 (2 ounce) jar finely chopped pimientos, for color (optional)

Steps:

  • Chop cabbage, onion and pimento by whatever method you are comfortable with.
  • Put the chopped ingredients into a suitable sized bowl and add the sweet relish.
  • Combine the rest of the ingredients in a separate bowl and whisk until the sugar is somewhat dissolved.
  • Add this mixture to the cabbage mixture and combine well.
  • Can use right away or allow to set for a bit to let the ingredients meld a little better.
  • You want it to be a little bit 'juicy', not dry. The juice will work it's way down into the meat.
  • Scoop some onto a pulled meat sandwich (beef, pork or ham) and enjoy.

Tips:

  • For a creamy coleslaw, use mayonnaise-based dressing. For a lighter option, use a vinegar-based dressing.
  • Add some crunch to your coleslaw by adding chopped celery, carrots, or red onion.
  • If you want a tangy coleslaw, add some apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to the dressing.
  • For a sweet coleslaw, add some sugar or honey to the dressing.
  • To make your coleslaw ahead of time, mix the dressing and vegetables together and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, just toss the coleslaw together and enjoy.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of pulled meat sandwiches. Whether you like your coleslaw creamy, tangy, or sweet, there's a recipe out there that's perfect for you. So next time you're making pulled meat sandwiches, don't forget the coleslaw!
