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.

PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH



Pork Tenderloin Sandwich image

A classic sandwich in the Midwest, particularly popular in Iowa and Indiana, but there are regional variations throughout the entire United STates. I've always thought of this as a German schnitzel on a sandwich. It's crispy and crunchy... tender deliciousness!

Provided by lutzflcat

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (1 pound) pork tenderloin
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 large egg
½ cup buttermilk
1 cup panko bread crumbs
½ cup olive oil
4 medium soft rolls
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 leaves lettuce
12 slices dill pickle

Steps:

  • Trim pork tenderloin of any fat and silver skin, and cut into 4 equal pieces. Place each piece between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or in a resealable plastic bag. Pound the cutlets using a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness, flattening each piece.
  • Combine flour, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper in a shallow dish. Whisk together buttermilk and egg in a second dish. Add panko breadcrumbs to a third dish.
  • Dry cutlets with paper towels, and dredge each in the flour mixture on both sides, shaking off any excess. Next dredge tenderloins in the egg-buttermilk mixture, shaking off the excess. Finally, turn cutlets in the bread crumb mixture, pressing down until completely coated. Transfer to a plate and let dry for at least 5 minutes.
  • Heat oil over medium heat in a 12-inch skillet to between 350 to 375 degrees F (175 to 190 degrees C). Place a couple of breaded cutlets in the skillet, making sure not to crowd, and fry on each side for about 3 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally until cutlets are deep golden brown and crisp. Transfer the cutlets to a wire rack to drain any excess oil. Repeat the procedure with the remaining cutlets.
  • Spread each roll with mayonnaise then add lettuce, pickle slices, and cutlets.

BREADED PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH



Breaded Pork Tenderloin Sandwich image

This pork tenderloin sandwich (with a crispy golden cutlet that is so wide, no bun can contain it) is the deep-fried darling of Indiana. It's is so beloved in the Hoosier state that it inspired a documentary about the search for the perfect version of it. We hope it will inspire you to try an uncommon way of cooking pork tenderloin, whether you're a fan or a skeptic.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h30m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pork tenderloin, trimmed (about 1 1/4 pounds)
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
2 cups plain breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil, for frying
4 toasted hamburger buns
Lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, pickle rounds, mayonnaise and mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • Cut the pork tenderloin crosswise into 4 even pieces. Cut each piece crosswise again, but do not go all the way through; you should be able to open it like a book. Pound each piece with a mallet until 1/4-inch thick and 6 to 8 inches across.
  • Whisk together the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a shallow dish. Add the pork cutlets. Make sure all the pieces are coated well with the buttermilk marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
  • Set up a breading station with 3 shallow dishes: the flour in the first dish, eggs in the second and breadcrumbs in the third. Sprinkle all 3 dishes with salt and pepper.
  • Fill a large, high-sided skillet with about 1/2-inch oil, attach a deep fat fry thermometer and heat to 350 degrees F.
  • Dredge each pork cutlet in the flour first, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs. Gently place into the hot oil without overcrowding the skillet. You will need to fry the cutlets in batches. When the cutlets are golden brown on one side, about 2 minutes, carefully turn and cook for another 2 minutes. Drain well on a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Build the sandwiches by putting the cutlets between the burger buns and garnishing with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mayonnaise and mustard. The cutlet should hang generously over the bun.

PORCHETTA - ITALIAN MARKETPLACE SLOW ROAST PULLED PORK SANDWICH



Porchetta - Italian Marketplace Slow Roast Pulled Pork Sandwich image

This is JUST gorgeous! A domestic take on the classic Italian marketplace or street food, Porchetta, which is actually roast suckling pig. Porchetta is thickly sliced and served in ciabatta bread as a delectable hot sandwich throughout Italy. My recipe is a much-adapted recipe taken from one of Nigella Lawson's cookbooks, and it is SO easy to make at home. I cook mine in the crock-pot for meltingly soft and tender pulled pork - however, I have also given traditional roasting directions in this recipe. Preparation time includes the 24 hour period required for the pork to marinade in its herbed and spiced rub.

Provided by French Tart

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time P1DT6h

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 kg pork shoulder, boned, trimmed of fat and butterflied
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, peeled and finely diced
6 garlic cloves, peeled and finely minced
2 tablespoons fennel seeds
2 -3 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
4 fresh bay leaves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
10 ciabatta rolls

Steps:

  • Lay the pork on a large chopping board and cover with cling film. With a rolling pin, mallet, or other suitable blunt object, pound the meat as close to an even 1" thickness that you can manage.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium high. Add all of the chopped onion, half the minced garlic, half the fennel seeds, all of the rosemary and bay, half of the ground cloves, salt and pepper, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until all the fragrance has been released from the herbs and spices. Transfer to a plate to cool.
  • Spread and rub this mixture over and into the pork, then roll the meat up as tightly and neatly as you can. Tie with kitchen string at intervals.
  • Mix the remaining ingredients (minced garlic, fennel seeds, ground cloves, olive oil) and rub it over the outside of the pork. Cover it with cling film and refrigerate 24 hours, or at least overnight.
  • Remove the meat 40 minutes before cooking to allow it to return to room temperature. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 150C/300F Take the cling film off the pork and place the pork joint in to a roasting tin.
  • Cook the pork for 4 hours to 5 hours, until it is falling apart when you test it with a knife or fork. If the spices on the surface start to char too badly (a little blackness is a good thing), tent foil loosely over the roast. (I find I need to cover it for the last hour of cooking.).
  • CROCK POT - at this stage, cook the pork in a crock pot for 4 to 5 hours on high, or on automatic for up to 8 hours.
  • Remove from the oven and leave to rest at least 30 minutes to one hour. Slice, pull or shred the meat and serve in warmed ciabatta rolls.

PORK LOIN SANDWICH



Pork Loin Sandwich image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 7h10m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
3 lemons, halved
One 2 1/2- to 3-pound boneless pork loin, tied with butcher twine
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 yellow onions, sliced 1/3-inch thick
Butter, for toasting
4 pretzel hot dog buns, split
1/4 cup yellow mustard, plus more for spreading
Pickled Fresno Peppers, recipe follows
3/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 bay leaf
1 clove garlic, crushed
4 ounces Fresno peppers, sliced 1/4-inch thick

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, dissolve the salt and sugar in 8 cups of cold water. Add the black peppercorns and squeeze in 2 of the halved lemons. Submerge the pork in the brine for 6 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Remove the pork from the brine and dry off. Heat a large oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the oil and sear each side of the loin until golden, about 8 minutes total -- keep turning until it's golden all over. Add the sliced onions to the pan alongside the pork, and stir around to coat the onions in fat. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 140 to 145 degrees F, about 30 minutes. For even cooking, be sure to stir the onions once or twice during roasting.
  • For the sandwich build: Butter the pretzel bun halves and griddle them until golden brown. With a sharp knife, slice the loin into thin shavings. Spread some mustard on the bottom half of each bun, then top with some sliced pork. Sprinkle the pork with a little salt and squeeze the remaining lemon halves over the top. Top with the roasted onions and some Pickled Fresno Peppers. Eat while standing.
  • Bring the vinegar, 1/4 cup water, the sugar, salt, bay leaf and garlic to a boil in a small saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour the hot liquid over the peppers in a bowl or container. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate.

CUBAN PORK ROAST SANDWICH



Cuban Pork Roast Sandwich image

Recipe attempting to recreate a recently closed sandwich shop in Seattle. I merged a few recipes I found online. I use a Traeger pellet grill for slow cooking the pork, but I suppose you can use any slow cooking technique.

Provided by BajaVilla.com

Categories     Pork

Time 5h40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 cup mango juice
2 cups orange juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 limes, juiced
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 ounce rum
3 -4 lbs pork shoulder
1 slice white bread, crust removed
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
6 garlic cloves, crushed
2 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon saffron thread
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 1/2 cups olive oil, regular
3 large yellow onions
12 French baguettes (I like Bahn Mi style buns from Q Bakery)
1 cup pickled jalapeno pepper
1 bunch romaine lettuce
1/2 cup fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Prepare Pork for Slow Cooking (1 day):.
  • Combine marinade ingredients.
  • Stab the pork all over to allow for better marinade penetration.
  • Marinade pork for 12-24 hours.
  • Remove from marinade and bring to room temperature (reserve marinade for later).
  • Heat large skillet with a small amount of olive oil until smoking hot.
  • Sear pork on all sides in skillet.
  • Leave the pan alone and keep it for cooking onions later.
  • Place pork in roasting pan, and pour marinade into pan (ideally pan should be about 3 inches wider/longer then pork.).
  • Loosely tent pan with foil.
  • Slow Cook Pork (preferably use Traeger pellet grill):.
  • Place in 300 degree oven (or preferably Traeger pellet grill).
  • Cook for 2 hours tented.
  • Reduce heat to 250.
  • Cook for 1 more hour uncovered, basting every 20 minutes with marinade.
  • Turn Pork over and cook for 1 more hour, basting every 20 minutes with marinade.
  • Your cooking time will vary depending on meat and pan size. Uncovering the pan is done to reduce the marinade. Your goal is to use most of the marinade but not to burn it. You will still have considerable burnt and caramelized pieces at the end of the cooking cycle. Re-cover the pan if necessary, to preserve liquid. The pork should basically fall apart by the end of the cooking cycle.
  • Remove pork, cover with foil and let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Pull the pork apart into medium sized chunks with claws.
  • Aioli (prepare while cooking pork and refrigerate):.
  • Soak white bread in vinegar.
  • Place it in a kitchen aid mixer with all remaining ingredients EXCEPT olive oil.
  • Whip on medium setting until thoroughly blended.
  • Slowly drizzle in NON-Extra virgin (regular) Olive Oil. Increase speed of the mixer as it begins to emulsify and turn into a mayonnaise-like consistency.
  • Place in refrigerator.
  • Caramelize Onions (Prepare while letting the pork rest):.
  • Cut onion into thick slices (about 1/2 inch wide).
  • Heat pan used for searing pork over Medium/low heat adding a little olive oil.
  • Add onion to pan.
  • Slowly caramelize onions, stirring occasionally. Onions should be soft and browned, but not burnt.
  • Prepare the sandwich:.
  • The original used a harder roll sliced completely in half. I use a Bahn Mi roll cut more like a Philly steak sandwich bun. I get my buns at Q Bakery in Columbia City. This allows me to stuff the sandwich and not have a complete mess.
  • Cut roll and LIGHTLY toast inside.
  • Spread Aioli generously on inside.
  • Add some cilantro, a branch of romaine, a few jalapeños, some caramelized onions, and stuff with pork.
  • Finally, eat the best sandwich ever.

HOOSIER PORK-TENDERLOIN SANDWICH



Hoosier Pork-Tenderloin Sandwich image

This pork sandwich comes breaded, fried and way oversized. Buttermilk is the secret ingredient in the Indiana pork-tenderloin sandwich. Up to a half pound of meat is pounded thin, marinated in buttermilk, breaded with cracker crumbs, fried and served, despite its size on a regular hamburger bun. At some restaurants, the pork is a foot in diameter! Try this recipe from the Food Network Kitchens. Note: Time does not include marinating time.

Provided by Crafty Lady 13

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 45m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lbs center-cut boneless pork loin
2 large eggs
2 cups buttermilk
2 garlic cloves, crushed
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 sleeves saltines (about 80 crackers)
2 cups instant flour (such as Wondra)
peanut oil, for frying
4 soft hamburger buns, split
1/3 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
4 half-sour dill pickles, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Cut the pork crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Put each piece flat on a cutting board and slice horizontally almost in half (stop about 1 inch from the other side). Open like a book. Sprinkle each with water, place between 2 pieces of heavy-duty plastic wrap and pound to 1/4 inch thick with a mallet or heavy skillet.
  • Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, garlic, 1 teaspoon each salt and black pepper, and the cayenne in a shallow bowl. Add the pork, cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Pulse the crackers into coarse crumbs in a food processor, then transfer to a shallow dish. Put the flour in another dish. Remove each piece of pork from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Dredge both sides in the flour, dip in the buttermilk marinade again, then coat with the cracker crumbs.
  • Heat 1/4 to 1/2 inch peanut oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360°F Fry the pork in batches until golden and cooked through about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  • Spread both halves of each bun with mayonnaise and mustard. Layer the lettuce, tomatoes and onion on the bottom halves. Add a piece of pork and a few pickle slices. Cover with bun tops.

  • Pour beef stock and 1/2 cup hot sauce in a pressure cooker. Stir in 3 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon molasses, maple syrup, and 4 crushed garlic cloves. Place the pork butt in the pressure cooker, seal the lid, and bring up to low pressure over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, maintaining low pressure, and cook for 2 hours.
  • While the pork is cooking, make the coleslaw. Mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon hot sauce, white vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl. Add the coleslaw mix and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Turn off the heat and let the pressure reduce naturally; remove the lid and let the pork rest for 5 minutes. The meat should shred easily with a fork; if it doesn't fall off the bone, reseal the lid, turn on the heat, return the pressure cooker to low pressure, and cook for another 30 minutes.
  • Remove meat from the pressure cooker, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Shred the meat using two forks and set aside.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 5 cloves of garlic; cook and stir until the garlic is fragrant and just starting to turn brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in ketchup, 1/2 cup honey, 2 tablespoons hot sauce, 2 tablespoons molasses, cider vinegar, and reserved cooking liquid. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Fill each Kaiser roll with two big forkfuls of pork, two tablespoons of barbeque sauce, and 2 spoonfuls of coleslaw.

Yield 6 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 cups white distilled vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 cups julienned daikon radish (cut into strips or run through a mandoline)
1 cup julienned carrots
1/2 English cucumber, partially peeled in sections to leave some skin on, cut into half moons
1 cup mayonnaise
1 to 2 tablespoons Sriracha
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion, 1/4-inch dice (about 2 cups)
1 heaping tablespoon peeled and finely grated ginger
8 cloves garlic, minced
2/3 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup fish sauce
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pounds ground pork
Six 8-inch hoagie rolls
2 fresh jalapenos, halved and thinly sliced
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup salted roasted peanuts, chopped

Steps:

  • For the pickled vegetables: Heat the vinegar, sugar and salt in a small pot until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the daikon, carrots and cucumbers. Let steep for at least an hour.
  • For the spicy mayonnaise: Mix the mayonnaise, Sriracha and sesame oil together. Adjust the heat by either adding more Sriracha or mayonnaise.
  • For the pork: Heat the canola oil in a straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until slightly softened, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook another 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the pickling liquid from the pickled vegetables and cook until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock, fish sauce, hoisin sauce and black pepper and stir to combine. Simmer until reduced slightly and thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.

  • For the sandwich build: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the rolls for 5 minutes, to crisp the crust and soften the interior. Slice the rolls open, but keep them hinged. Schmear desired amount of spicy mayo on the bottom roll, place some pork on top of that, top with some pickled vegetables, fresh jalapenos, cilantro leaves, and finish with the chopped peanuts. Grab with two hands, eat whole and close your eyes while enjoying this first class ticket to Saigon.

Italian Pork Sandwich with Broccoli Rabe and Sharp Provolone image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 3/4-pound pork tenderloin
Kosher salt
Olive oil
Two 8-inch seeded semolina rolls, halved lengthwise
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon Calabrian chiles in oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 bunch broccoli rabe
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 slices sharp provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Sprinkle the pork tenderloin generously with salt. Coat the preheated grill pan with oil. Sear the tenderloin on all sides until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 145 F, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Toast the rolls, cut side-down, on the grill pan allowing the bread to crisp up and soak up the flavor from the pork. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, Parmesan, Calabrian chiles and vinegar in a small bowl.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with salted water and ice. Add the broccoli rabe to the boiling water and cook until just tender, about 1 minute. Remove from boiling water and drop immediately into the ice bath. Once cool, remove, drain and roughly chop.
  • Coat a large skillet with oil and heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until just soft, about 1 minute. Add the broccoli rabe, season with salt and saute until heated through.
  • Build the sandwiches: Spread the mayonnaise-chile mixture on the toasted sides of a roll. Top the bottom of the roll with half the pork, broccoli rabe and provolone cheese. Top with top piece of the roll and transfer to a baking tray. Build the second sandwich with the remaining ingredients. Bake just until cheese melts, about 3 minutes.
  • Slice each sandwich in half and serve!

Categories     main-dish

Time 14h15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 31

1 cup ancho chili powder
1/3 cup Spanish paprika
3 tablespoons ground dried oregano
3 tablespoons ground coriander
3 tablespoons dry mustard
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons chile de arbol
1 (6-pound) pork shoulder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chicken stock, if needed
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
Salt
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons canola/olive oil blend
Water, if needed
1 cup coarsely chopped green onions
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 serrano chiles
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup pure olive oil
1 head purple cabbage, finely shredded
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves
Hamburger buns, for serving

Steps:

  • For the Dry Rub: Add all the dry rub ingredients into a medium-sized bowl and stir until thoroughly combined.
  • For the pork shoulder: Place the pork, fat side up, on a clean baking sheet. Season the pork on all sides with salt and pepper then rub the dry rub all over the pork, pressing into the meat. Cover the pork with plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator for 7 hours.
  • Black Pepper Vinegar Sauce: Place all the ingredients into a blender and blend until emulsified. Add water if the sauce is too thick.
  • Green Onion Slaw: Place the green onions, vinegar, chiles, mayonnaise, salt, pepper and oil into a blender and blend until emulsified. Place the cabbage and red onions in a bowl, add the dressing and stir until combined. Fold in the cilantro and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • For the pork shoulder: Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking. Following manufacturer's instructions and using lump charcoal and 1/2 cup drained wood chips for a smoker, or 1 cup for a barbecue, start fire and bring temperature of smoker or barbecue to 225 degrees F to 250 degrees F. Place the pork on the rack in smoker or barbecue. Cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork reaches 165 degrees F. Turn pork every 45 minutes, about 6 hours total. If using the smoker, after 2 hours place the pork into the smoker pan and fill halfway with chicken stock. (This is to prevent the shoulder from drying out.) Add more charcoal, as needed, to maintain 225 degrees F to 250 degrees F and more wood drained wood chips (1/2 cup for the smoker or 1 cup for the barbecue with each addition) to maintain smoke level. Transfer pork to a clean rimmed baking sheet. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Shred into bite-size pieces. Mound on platter and toss with most of the Black Pepper Vinegar Sauce, reserving the rest for drizzling the bun. Pour any juice from the baking sheet over the pork.
  • For assembly: Drizzle the sauce on the top and bottom of the bun. Top the bottom bun with the meat, another drizzle of sauce, Green Onion Slaw and finish with the top of the bun.

ITALIAN PORCHETTA (SHREDDED PORK) SANDWICH RECIPE



Italian Porchetta (Shredded Pork) Sandwich Recipe image

Provided by Bujvary

Number Of Ingredients 18

Topping Choices:
1 (4.5 lb.) pork shoulder, fat slightly trimmed, boned, and butterflied (ask your butcher)
4 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 lg. yellow onion, minced
2-3 tbsp. minced fresh rosemary
4 bay leaves, finely crumbled (or 2 tsp. powdered bay leaf)
2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1-2 tsp. coarse salt (the more the better if you have no health issues)
1 tsp. ground cloves, divided
1 head of garlic, cloves peeled and minced or pressed, divided
2 tbsp. whole fennel seeds, divided
Sliced pickled hot peppers
Fried or caramelized onions
Sliced fontina cheese
Sliced gruyere cheese
Arugula
Giardiniera (pickled vegetable salad)
Chopped cornichon

Steps:

  • 1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the onion, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, pepper, half of the garlic, half the cloves, and half of the fennel in two tbsp. of the olive oil until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Let cool. 2. While mixture cools, pound your piece of pork into a large, even, 1-inch-thick piece with a meat mallet. The more square the piece, the easier it will be to work with. Place meat on a large piece of plastic wrap. 3. Rub onion mixture into the surface of your pork, working it into the meat a bit. 4. Roll the meat into a tight spiral, tying it closed with kitchen string. If you roll it too loosely, the meat will dry out so do this carefully. 5. In a small bowl, combine the remaining olive oil, cloves, garlic, and fennel with a fork. 6. Rub oil mixture into the outside of the pork, working it gently into the meat. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and place in the fridge about 24 hours. 7. When you're ready to cook, take the pork out of the fridge to allow the meat to come to room temperature. 8. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. 9. Unwrap and place your rolled, tied pork into a roasting pan. 10. Cook pork until it's fall-apart tender. This should take 4-5 hours. During the last hour or so of cooking, cover the meat lightly with a tented piece of foil. 11. Remove meat from the oven and let it rest about an hour. 12. Serve on crusty Italian rolls and allow guests to choose their own toppings.
