Yield 16 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
One 4-pound boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
3/4 cup chili sauce
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar (if unavailable, substitute light brown sugar)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded cabbage (about 1/3 head)
2 carrots, grated
16 slider buns or Hawaiian sweet rolls

Steps:

For the BBQ pork: Whisk together the smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder and onion powder in a large bowl. Add the pork shoulder and turn to coat.
Heat the oil in a large saute pan over low heat and cook the pork, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove the pork to a plate. Combine the onions with the chili sauce, vinegar, brown sugar and 1 cup water in a slow cooker and whisk together. Add the pork shoulder, cover and cook on low until the pork is hot and cooked through, 8 to 10 hours.
Remove the pork to a cutting board and set aside. Pour the liquid into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook over high heat until reduced by half or the sauce is thick, 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, shred the pork with 2 forks or chop into pieces. Put back in the slow cooker and top with the reduced sauce, to taste.
For the slaw: Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the cabbage and carrots and toss until coated.
To serve, place the pulled pork on the bottom buns, top with the slaw, then close the sliders.

Tips:

For the most flavorful pulled pork, choose a pork shoulder or butt roast with a good amount of marbling.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and rubs for your pork. A good starting point is a combination of garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cumin.
Cook your pork on low and slow heat, either in a slow cooker or in the oven. This will help to keep the meat moist and tender.
Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks or a meat shredder. You can then serve it immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use.
For the green cabbage slaw, use a combination of green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots. This will give the slaw a colorful and crunchy texture.
Dress the slaw with a simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
Serve the pulled pork sliders on slider buns with the green cabbage slaw and your favorite toppings, such as barbecue sauce, pickles, and onions.
