Pulled Pork Sandwiches With Apple Cider Slaw Recipes

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 APPLE CIDER SLAW

Steps:

• Combine the garlic, olive oil, and salt and mix into a paste. Rub the paste over the pork butt and place the pork in a heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate overnight. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add the two jars of BBQ sauce, the beer, and vinegar to the pot with the pork. Place in oven, uncovered, for about 30 minutes. When the pork begins to crisp, reduce the oven to 325 degrees, baste the pork with the pan juices, then cover and continue roasting for 4 to 5 hours. Baste the pork with the BBQ sauce every 30 minutes, until the meat is tender and pulls apart easily with a fork. The BBQ sauce will reduce down to a thick, sticky glaze, but if the sauce is reducing too quickly, add a splash of water, or a little more beer to loosen up the sauce. Once the pork is tender, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool. When the pork can be handled, pull the meat into large shreds. Put the pulled pork back into the cooking pot and mix with the reduced BBQ sauce. Serve the pulled pork with Apple Cider Slaw, toasted sandwich buns, and some pickles. Apple Cider Slaw Prep: Remove the core from the green cabbage and cut the head in half from root to tip. Slice each half into quarter inch ribbons. Add pepper, green onions, carrots, and jalapeño and toss to combine. Whisk together the Apple Cider Grilling Sauce, mayonnaise, and cider vinegar. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss to combine. Season with salt to taste.
