Categories     main-dish

Time 8h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 pork shoulder roast (Boston Butt or Picnic roast), about 6 to 8 pounds
4 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Homemade Barbecue Sauce, recipe follows
10 to 12 sandwich buns
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups finely chopped onions
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 1/4 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
1 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup cider vinegar
6 tablespoons dark brown sugar

Steps:

  • Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before proceeding. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil. Season the roast well on all sides with the Essence, salt, and cayenne pepper. Place a roasting rack inside the roasting pan and place the seasoned pork on the rack, fat side up. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 4 hours.
  • Remove the foil from the roast and continue to bake until the roast is very tender and will pull apart easily with a fork, about 2 hours longer. Remove the pork from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Remove any excess fat from the roast and discard if desired; I just love the crunchy bits of skin left on top! Using 2 forks or your hands, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces. Serve with sauce and buns to make sandwiches.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  • Recipe from "New New Orleans Cooking", by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch
  • Published by William and Morrow, 1993.
  • In a medium non-reactive saucepan set over medium-high heat, add the butter and, when melted, add the onions and cook until they are very soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, paprika, Essence, ground mustard, salt, crushed red pepper, black pepper, and cayenne pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes, or until the tomato paste begins to brown. Add the water, cider vinegar, and dark brown sugar, and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have come together, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Set aside to cool before using. The sauce may be made up to 1 week in advance and refrigerated in an airtight, non-reactive container.

PULLED PORK SANDWICHES WITH HOMEMADE BBQ SAUCE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Homemade BBQ Sauce Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 34

Emeril's ESSENCE Creole Seasoning (also referred to as Bayou Blast):
1 pork shoulder roast (Boston Butt or Picnic roast), about 6 to 8 pounds
4 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Homemade Barbecue Sauce, recipe follows
10 to 12 sandwich buns
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Yield: 2/3 cup
Homemade Barbecue Sauce*:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups finely chopped onions
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 1/4 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
1 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup cider vinegar
6 tablespoons dark brown sugar
NOTE: cut back on the vinegar, if you prefer less of an acidic sauce. Add less cayenne and red pepper flakes, if you prefer less "heat".
This sauce stores well in the refrigerator and is very versatile, depending on how you adjust the sugar to acid ratio.

Steps:

  • Step 1, Make the Creole Seasoning ("Bayou Blast") Set aside2 tsp of the seasoning for the BBQ sauce. Step 2 - Prepare the pork with a Weber: Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before proceeding. Season the roast well on all sides with the Essence, salt, and cayenne pepper. Prepare the briquettes using a "chimney". (I never use lighter fluid). Soak wood chips for 30 minutes, drain. Set one (or two) foil pans into the center of the grill. When the briquettes are white, pour onto one half of the weber, then set soaked chips on top of the coals. Place the seasoned pork above the pans (not on directly on the coals). Cover and open vent holes 3/4's (over the meat, opposite the coals). After one hour, the meat should begin to have a crust. Add more briquettes and chips. Every hour, add more briquettes (and chips, if desired) until cooked to 195F. We cooked a 4 pound pork shoulder butt and it was ready in about 4 1/2 hours. OVEN DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 300F. Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil. Season the roast well on all sides with the Essence, salt, and cayenne pepper. Place a roasting rack inside the roasting pan and place the seasoned pork on the rack, fat side up. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 4 hours. Remove the foil from the roast and continue to bake until the roast is very tender and will pull apart easily with a fork, about 2 hours longer. Remove the pork from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Remove any excess fat from the roast and discard if desired. The safest way to pull pork is to wear clean rubber gloves, simply grab the pork and pull. Or, you can use two forks to shred the pork. You can serve the pork several different ways. We prefer to let people add their own BBQ sauce and to decide if they want to stack the cole slaw on top or eat it on the side. Some people like to serve this between white bread and with a pickle-- I like to make homemade hamburger buns and add some BBQ sauce. The Weber technique imparts the most delicious smoky taste and make delicious "burn ends"-- the crunchy, crusty pork crust... so good!

Coleslaw:
1 (16 ounce) package shredded coleslaw mix
¼ cup pickled pepperoncini peppers, chopped
¼ cup diced red onion
⅓ cup mayonnaise
½ lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon granulated onion
¼ teaspoon lemon pepper
Pulled Pork:
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
2 tablespoons granulated onion
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (4 pound) pork shoulder roast
¼ cup molasses
Sauce:
3 cups barbeque sauce
1 cup strong brewed coffee
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
4 Italian-style hoagie buns, split lengthwise and toasted
¼ cup onion, chopped
¼ cup jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

Steps:

  • Combine coleslaw mix, pepperoncini peppers, red onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon granulated garlic, Dijon mustard, white sugar, salt, 1/2 teaspoon granulated onion, and lemon pepper in a large bowl. Toss until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Combine kosher salt, black pepper, 2 tablespoons granulated garlic, 2 tablespoons granulated onion, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
  • Place pork shoulder in a large roasting pan. Rub with 1/4 cup molasses on all sides and between any crevices. Sprinkle with kosher salt seasoning mixture and rub over all sides.
  • Cover pan tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil and roast pork in the preheated oven until tender and a thermometer inserted reaches 200 degrees F (95 degrees C), 3 to 4 hours. Transfer pork to a cutting board, reserving pan juice, and allow to cool slightly before pulling. Using two forks, shred the pork shoulder into bite-size pieces. Transfer meat to a large bowl and toss with some of the pan juices to keep it moist.
  • Pour reserved pan juices into a large pot over medium heat. Add barbeque sauce, coffee, 1 tablespoon molasses, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, dry mustard, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 15 minutes. Add shredded pork and stir until warm, about 5 minutes.
  • Fill each hoagie bun with pork mixture. Top with 1 to 2 cups coleslaw. Garnish with 1 tablespoon onion and 1 tablespoon jalapeno.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Boston butt or pork shoulder is the best cut for pulled pork because it has a good amount of fat, which helps to keep the meat moist and flavorful during the long cooking process.
  • Use a flavorful rub: A good rub will help to add flavor to the pork and create a nice crust on the outside. Be sure to rub the pork all over, including the underside.
  • Cook the pork low and slow: The best way to cook pulled pork is to cook it low and slow over indirect heat. This will help to tenderize the meat and make it fall apart easily.
  • Use a smoker box: If you have a smoker, you can use a smoker box to add extra flavor to the pork. Fill the smoker box with your favorite wood chips and place it in the smoker.
  • Let the pork rest before shredding: Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for at least 10 minutes before shredding. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat and make it easier to shred.

Conclusion:

Emeril Lagasse's barbecued pulled pork sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the sandwiches are perfect for a summer cookout or potluck. With a few simple tips, you can make pulled pork sandwiches that are sure to impress your friends and family.
