Traditional Super Bowl Sunday Pulled Pork Sandwiches Recipes

TRADITIONAL SUPER BOWL SUNDAY PULLED PORK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• With oven rack in lowest position, preheat to 250 degrees.
• Remove rind from pork roast. (This requires a pretty sharp knife!).
• Mix together dry ingredients to make a rub.
• Place pork on a rack in shallow roasting pan.
• Rub the pork all over with Dijon mustard, then pat on dry rub.
• Roast pork until a meat thermometer reads 170 degrees. This can take anywhere from 9 to 11 hours.
• Remove pork from oven and let cool for about 1 hour. Reserve all pan drippings.
• Pull pork into chunks, and then shred into a large bowl.
• In medium saucepan, combine reserved drippings, 1 cup water, and barbecue sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, then pour over shredded pork. Stir well. This can now be refrigerated and reheated in a covered pot over low heat later, or served immediately.
• Serve on rolls, with hot sauce or extra barbecue sauce, if desired.

SUPER-EASY PULLED PORK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt in a bowl. Spread mustard over pork roast and sprinkle with brown sugar mixture, using the entire amount. Line a shallow baking dish with aluminum foil. Place a rack in the prepared baking dish and arrange pork roast on rack.
• Bake in the preheated oven until very tender, 9 to 11 hours. Let pork cool, then shred into bite-size pieces. Stir barbeque sauce into pork to moisten; serve with hamburger buns.

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.
