Best 4 North Carolina Style Pulled Pork Sandwiches And Coleslaw Recipes

NORTH CAROLINA-STYLE BBQ PULLED-PORK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Make small holes all over the pork shoulder with a thin sharp knife and stuff in garlic cloves. Rub the meat all over with the Memphis Shake; cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Prepare an outdoor grill with an indirect medium-hot fire with a mix of briquettes and hardwood charcoal in half of the grill. Set grate over coals. Place pork, skin side up, in an aluminum pan with about 1 1/2 cups water on the cooler side of the grate. Toss 1 cup of the soaked and drained wood chips onto the coals and cover the grill, making sure the lid's vents are directly over pork.
• When the coals cool to medium-low heat, preheat a chimney-full of hot briquettes and hardwood charcoal. Whenever smoke stops coming out of the vents, about every hour, add more hot coals and 1 cup of soaked and drained wood chips to the fire. The goal is to maintain a medium-heat, smoky fire (but don't worry if it is hotter when the coals are added and cooler while preheating the coals). Rotate the pork when you add coals so it cooks evenly. Cook the meat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork registers 180 degrees F, about 6 hours.
• Set aside 1 quart of the North Carolina-Style Vinegar BBQ Sauce. Once the pork reaches 180 degrees F, begin mopping the entire surface of the meat every 20 minutes with some of the remaining sauce and the pan drippings. Continue to cook the pork, covering the grill between mopping, until an instant-read thermometer registers 200 degrees F, about 1 to 2 hours more.
• Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for at least 15 minutes. Remove the outer skin and discard. Cut large chunks from the bone and shred, using 2 forks or your fingers, (when cool enough to touch) or chop. Toss with about 1 cup of the reserved barbecue sauce for every 3 cups of meat. Tuck the pork into the soft rolls and serve with pickles.
• Whisk paprika, brown sugar, oregano, garlic, ancho powder, salt, and celery salt in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 months.
• Heat the vinegar and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Off the heat, stir in the ketchup, honey, salt, red pepper, and black pepper.

NORTH CAROLINA-STYLE PULLED PORK SANDWICHES AND COLESLAW

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Mix together the salt, pepper, and paprika; sprinkle all over the pork and rub inches
• In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a 24-inch-long sheet of heavy duty foil and double wrap the pork.
• Place the pork, skin side up, in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; roast until tender, about 4 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and carefully unwrap the top of the pork, revealing the skin. Increase the heat to 450 degrees and roast for 20 minutes more.
• Transfer the roast to a large bowl, along with any juices. Using two forks, shred the pork. Add the vinegars, sugar, and hot sauce; toss. Serve on the hamburger buns, topped with coleslaw (recipe follows), if using.
• For the coleslaw: In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegars, sugar, hot sauce, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper. Add the cabbage and toss. Let stand for 30 minutes, then toss and serve.

NORTH CAROLINA-STYLE PULLED PORK

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix mild paprika, light brown sugar, hot paprika, celery salt, garlic salt, dry mustard, ground black pepper, onion powder, and salt. Rub spice mixture into the roast on all sides. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate 8 hours, or overnight.
• Prepare a grill for indirect heat.
• Sprinkle a handful of soaked wood over coals, or place in the smoker box of a gas grill. Place pork butt roast on the grate over a drip pan. Cover grill, and cook pork until pork is tender and shreds easily, about 6 hours. Check hourly, adding fresh coals and hickory chips as necessary to maintain heat and smoke.
• Remove pork from heat and place on a cutting board. Allow the meat to cool approximately 15 minutes, then shred into bite-sized pieces using two forks. This requires patience.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together cider vinegar, water, ketchup, brown sugar, salt, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and white pepper. Continue whisking until brown sugar and salt have dissolved. Place shredded pork and vinegar sauce in a large roasting pan, and stir to coat pork. Serve immediately, or cover and keep warm on the grill for up to one hour until serving.

Steps:

• In a bowl mix all the spices together. Save 1 tablespoon of the rub for sauce. Rub the rest of the mixture vigorously into the pork. Wrap the pork and refrigerate for 24 h
• Place vinegar, sugar, jalapeno and dry rub mixture into a medium saucepan over medium hot heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Preparation: Using only one side of the grill, build a fire with 6 to 10 pounds of charcoal. You will control the heat of the fire by restricting the air flow. Add presoaked hickory chips on the charcoal and smoke should develop. Place the pork butt on the opposite side of the grill as the fire and close the lid. Shut down all air flow possible and maintain a temperature of 225 to 250 degrees for 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 hours; or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 180 degrees--this is the hard part of barbequing. Remove the pork from the grill and wrap it in heavy duty foil. Let it sit covered in foil for 30 minutes. Unwrap the pork and remove the skin and excess fat. Tear the pork into shreds with forks or your fingers. Place the shredded pork in a bowl and toss with the sauce. Pile the pork high on a bun and serve wit
• Wash all the potatoes. Cut the yams into quarters. Wrap the potatoes in foil. Place all the potatoes in the foil in a single layer on the grill and roast for 1/2 hour. Remove the potatoes from the grill and allow to cool. Cut the red, Yukon gold and 1/2 of the yams into 1/2-inch pieces. Take the remaining pound of yams and remove the skin. Blend the skinless yams, mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice and celery seed until smooth. Fold in the scallions and cut potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
