Bourban Mango Pulled Pork Recipes

PULLED PORK WITH MANGO BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• For the rub: Combine the brown sugar, paprika and salt in a small bowl and massage it into the pork shoulder until well coated. Set aside while you make the BBQ sauce. You could do this a day ahead and keep refrigerated until ready to use.
• For the BBQ sauce: In a large saucepan, warm the oil over low heat until hot and shimmering. Add the cumin and fennel seeds; they should splutter upon contact, be careful! Once the spluttering subsides, add the ginger, onions, serrano and a little salt to taste. Saute until they soften, but don't let them get any color. Add the mango puree, lime juice, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and molasses. Simmer about 5 minutes. Taste and season.
• Add the pork shoulder to the saucepan, coating it with the sauce. Cover, and gently simmer until the pork falls apart easily, stirring and turning often, about 3 hours.
• Remove the pork from the saucepan and shred it using 2 forks. Return it to the sauce and stir to coat with the sauce. Put a generous spoonful of the pork inside a brioche bun, top with a few slices of pickle and serve. Prepare to have your loved one swoon over you!

• For the slow cooker pork: Place the bay leaves in the bottom of a slow cooker and place the pork on top. Sprinkle the pork evenly with the cumin, garlic powder, salt, cinnamon, coriander and oregano. Pour 2 cups water around the sides of the pork, being careful not to rinse off the spice mixture. Cover and cook on low until the pork shreds easily with a fork, about 8 to 10 hours. Turn the meat after it has cooked for 4 to 5 hours. When the pork is tender, remove from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Use the cooking liquid as needed to moisten the meat.
• For the mango-jalapeno slaw: Toss together the cilantro, lime juice, orange juice, rice vinegar, mangoes, jalapenos, cabbage, onions and sprinkle of salt gently and marinate in the refrigerator, at least 1 hour.
