Categories     Sandwich

Time 4h15m

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 1/2 - 4 lb. pork shoulder
1 cup onion (diced)
1 red pepper (seeded and diced)
1 large apple (peeled, cored and diced)
1 6-oz. can tomato paste
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup chili powder
2 tsp. dry mustard
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 cups Purple or green cabbage (thinly sliced or shredded)
1/4 cup apple (cored and thinly sliced or shredded)
6 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
Freshly ground pepper
Crusty buns or rolls

Steps:

  • Place pork shoulder in a large, heavy bottomed Dutch oven or pot on the stove-top. If necessary, cut the pork in to a couple of large chunks to fit. Add all the rest of the ingredients to the pot. Cover and turn burner on to medium. After 10-15 minutes, stir the mixture well and flip the pork over. Cover pot, reduce heat to medium-low and allow to cook for 3-4 hours, flipping pork and stirring several times during that period.
  • For the Slow cooker, cook on high for about 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours. If the roast is exposed on the top, I like to open the lid a couple of times during cooking and flip it over, but it isn't really necessary if it's not convenient. Cook for 20-30 minutes at the end with the lid off to thicken the sauce.
  • When pork is tender enough to pull apart with a fork, remove the pork to a rimmed baking sheet. Remove and discard any bone. Using two forks, shred the pork, discarding any fatty pieces. Return the shredded meat to the pot with the sauce and stir well. Allow to simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes, or until the sauce thickened.
  • For the apple coleslaw, combine all the coleslaw ingredients in a medium bowl and stir together well.
  • Serve on buns, topped with apple 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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Boston butt or pork shoulder is the best cut for pulled pork because it has a lot of marbling and connective tissue, which results in tender, juicy meat.
  • Cook the pork low and slow: The best way to cook pulled pork is to cook it low and slow, either in a smoker or in a slow cooker. This allows the collagen in the meat to break down, resulting in melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.
  • Use a flavorful rub: A good rub will help to add flavor to the pork. You can use a store-bought rub or make your own. Some popular ingredients in pulled pork rubs include brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, and paprika.
  • Baste the pork regularly: Basting the pork with a mixture of apple cider vinegar, water, and brown sugar will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Let the pork rest before shredding: Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before shredding. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in juicier pulled pork.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make the best pulled pork sandwiches ever. Serve them on soft buns with your favorite toppings, such as apple BBQ sauce, fennel-apple coleslaw, and pickles. Enjoy!
