PULLED PORK SANDWICHES
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.

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.

Steps:
- Submerse pork butt in a container of salty water. Place in refrigerator for 12 to 16 hours. Take pork butt out of water and pat dry. Discard brine.
- Mix the cumin, thyme, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, salt, curry powder, and onion power. Rub on each side of pork butt. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours.
- In the mean time make the cole slaw by combining the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots and minced onion. Combine the last seven ingredients and whisk. Stir into cabbage and refrigerate for 24 hours.
- Place pork butt in oven heated to 250 degrees and cook until internal temperature reaches 190 degrees. About 10-12 hours. I start it before I go to bed.
- Carefully take pork butt out of cooking vessel and place on a cutting board. Reserve pan drippings.
- Cover with aluminum foil and let rest for 1/2 hour.
- Shred pork by pulling it with two forks. Place in serving dish and pour pan drippings (some or all) on the pork.
- Smack some pork on a bun, top it off with the cole slaw and enjoy.
Tips:
- Choosing the right cut of pork is essential for tender and flavorful pulled pork. Look for a pork shoulder or butt roast, which has a good amount of fat that will render down during cooking, resulting in a moist and juicy final product.
- Season the pork generously with a flavorful rub before cooking. This will help to develop a delicious crust and infuse the pork with flavor.
- Cook the pork low and slow. This allows the collagen in the meat to break down, resulting in tender and easily shredded pork.
- If you're cooking the pork in a slow cooker, add a cup or two of liquid, such as broth or water, to prevent the pork from drying out.
- Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks or pull it apart with your fingers. Toss the shredded pork with your favorite BBQ sauce and serve on buns with coleslaw and other desired toppings.
- For a smoky flavor, cook the pork over a charcoal grill or smoker. You can also add a few wood chips to the coals or smoker box to infuse the pork with additional smoky flavor.
- Leftover pulled pork can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Pulled pork sandwiches are a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can easily make delicious pulled pork sandwiches at home. Whether you're cooking the pork in a slow cooker, oven, or on the grill, following these tips will help you achieve tender, flavorful, and juicy pulled pork that your family and friends will love.
