PULLED-PORK SLIDERS



Pulled-Pork Sliders image

These pulled-pork sliders get their deeply savory flavor from pork in two forms: bone-in shoulder and smoky slab bacon.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Time 6h25m

Yield Makes 60

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 bone-in pork shoulder (8 to 10 pounds), skin on
4 ounces slab bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsulfured molasses
1/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons white vinegar
About 4 cups water
60 mini brioche buns, split
Sliced pickles (optional)

Steps:

  • Allow pork to come to room temperature, about 2 hours. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cook bacon in a Dutch oven or other large ovenproof heavy pot over medium-low heat until fat is rendered and bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season pork generously with salt and pepper, and sear, skin side down, in pot until golden, about 5 minutes. Flip, and repeat.
  • Return bacon to pot. Stir sugar, molasses, ketchup, and vinegar together, and add to pot. Add water to reach three-quarters up sides of pork. Cover pot, and bring to a simmer.
  • Transfer to oven, and braise pork, basting every hour, until liquid is thick and syrupy and meat is falling off the bone, about 6 hours.
  • Transfer pork to a rimmed baking sheet; let rest 20 minutes. Meanwhile, skim fat from braising liquid, and discard. Remove skin from pork, and discard. Shred meat, and return to pot with braising liquid. Serve on buns with pickles.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: For pulled pork, a pork shoulder (also known as a pork butt) is the best choice. It's a tough cut of meat, but it becomes incredibly tender when cooked slowly.
  • Use a good rub: The rub is what gives pulled pork its flavor. A basic rub typically includes salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add other spices to your liking, such as cumin, chili powder, or oregano.
  • Cook the pork slowly and low: Pulled pork should be cooked at a low temperature for a long time. This allows the connective tissue in the meat to break down and the flavors to develop.
  • Shred the pork with two forks: Once the pork is cooked, it's time to shred it. The easiest way to do this is with two forks. Simply pull the meat apart until it's in small pieces.
  • Make a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes pulled pork sliders special. There are many different recipes for pulled pork sauce, but a classic choice is a mustard-based BBQ sauce. You can also use a store-bought sauce, if you prefer.
  • Serve the sliders on soft buns: Pulled pork sliders are traditionally served on soft buns. You can use any type of bun you like, but slider buns are a good choice because they're small and easy to eat.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork sliders are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for any occasion. They're great for parties, potlucks, or just a casual weeknight dinner. With a little planning, you can have a batch of pulled pork sliders ready in no time. So next time you're looking for a crowd-pleasing dish, give these pulled pork sliders a try!
