Pulled Pork Sandwiches With Country Slaw Recipes

SLOW COOKER PULLED PORK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Set a 6 quart slow cooker to high to preheat.
• In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, paprika, cumin, coriander, kosher salt and black pepper together. Rub half of the mixture on the pork, setting aside the remaining spice rub. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or high sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork to the pan and brown evenly on each side, about 5 minutes per side.
• Add the onion and garlic to the slow cooker and top with the pork butt. In a bowl or measuring cup, mix the remaining spice rub with the stock, ketchup, and vinegar then pour over the pork. Cover and cook on LOW for 8-9 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, or until fork tender.
• Place the pork on a baking sheet or cutting board and let rest for 20-30 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Shred the pork into pieces and place in a bowl or back into the slow cooker insert.
• Skim the fat from the cooking liquid and transfer to a blender. Blend until smooth then pour 1-2 cups of the liquid over the shredded pork and toss to combine.
• Toss the coleslaw mix and red onion with the canola oil, apple cider vinegar, sugar, caraway seeds, celery seed, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour for flavors to blend.
• In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with the prepared horseradish, adding more to taste.
• Slather the horseradish mayo on one side of a bun, then top it with the shredded pork and crunchy slaw. Serve warm with extra dipping sauce if desired.

PULLED-PORK SANDWICHES WITH COLESLAW

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine cabbage, carrot, vinegar, and oil; season with salt and pepper. Let coleslaw stand 5 minutes. In a small saucepan, combine barbecue sauce and pork. Cook over medium-high until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Serve pork on buns with coleslaw.

PULLED PORK SANDWICH WITH BBQ SAUCE AND COLESLAW

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 WITH COUNTRY SLAW

Steps:

• For the Pork:.
• Rinse the pork shoulder and pat dry. Rub pork rub all over pork shoulder.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper and place in your slow cooker.
• Pour in can of cola and liquid smoke, all around the sides of the pork.
• Cook on low setting for 8 to 10 hours, until the pork is very tender.
• Remove the pork from the slow cooker and discard the remaining liquid.
• Remove the bone and shred the pork using a couple of forks, removing any excess fat.
• Now at this point you can place on hamburger buns and let everyone spread BBQ sauce on their own sandwiches.
• Or, you can place the meat back in the slow cooker along with the bottle of barbecue sauce and continue to cook for another 20-30 minutes until the pork is hot again.
• You can also leave your shredded pork in your Crock Pot and leave it on the keep warm setting until ready to eat.
• To me, it ain't finished until I add some cole slaw on top.
• For the Slaw.
• In a large bowl, dump in both bags of cole slaw mix.
• In a smaller bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients.
• Whisk vigorously until thoroughly combined.
• Pour mixture over coleslaw mix.
• With a spoon, toss cole slaw to combine.
• Put cover on bowl and put in the refrigerator to set overnight. This is going to allow the coleslaw mixture to soften just slightly and allow the flavors to blend. Trust me, this makes a big difference! It really gets better over time.
• Stir before serving.

PULLED PORK SANDWICHES

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.
