Yield Makes 6 to 8 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 12

16 cloves garlic, peeled
2 small yellow onions, coarsely chopped
1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
1 large rib celery, chopped
3 tablespoons ground cumin
1/4 cup coarse salt
1 (5-pound) pork butt
4 cups Barbecue Sauce
Shredded iceberg lettuce, for serving
6 to 8 ciabatta rolls, halved horizontally, soft centers removed, toasted, for serving
Garlic Dill Pickles, for serving
Coleslaw, for serving

Steps:

  • Place garlic, onions, carrot, celery, cumin, and salt in the bowl of a food processor; process until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add 1/2 cup water; process until well combined. Place pork in a large, deep roasting pan. Rub pork generously with vegetable puree; cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add enough water to the roasting pan so that it comes halfway up the sides of the pork. Cover pan tightly with parchment paper-lined aluminum foil and transfer to oven. Bake until pork is very tender and falling apart, about 5 hours, checking pan occasionally to make sure water has not evaporated and adding more water as necessary.
  • Remove pork from oven. Let stand until cool enough to handle. (At this point, pork may be kept refrigerated and covered for up to 5 days.)
  • Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
  • Shred pork with a fork or pull apart using your fingers; discard any excess fat. In a large baking dish, combine shredded pork with 3 cups barbecue sauce. Transfer to oven and cook until mixture is heated through and bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Divide pork and shredded lettuce evenly among rolls. Serve with remaining cup of barbecue sauce, pickles, and coleslaw.

BBQ PULLED PORK SANDWICH



BBQ pulled pork sandwich image

Slow cook pork shoulder for four hours in the oven to tenderise then finish on a BBQ. Serve with a thick, tangy sauce

Provided by James Martin

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 4h55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 onions , sliced
3 bay leaves
1 tbsp each mustard powder and smoked paprika
1.5-2kg/3lb 5oz-4lb 8oz) pork shoulder , boned with rind attached and tied (ask your butcher to do this)
140g tomato ketchup
4 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
3 tbsp soft dark brown sugar
2 French stick , sliced into rolls, and coleslaw, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Scatter the onions and bay leaves in the bottom of a large roasting tin. Mix the mustard powder, paprika and 1 tsp ground black pepper with a good pinch of salt. Rub this all over the pork, making sure you rub it into all the crevices. Place the pork, rind-side up, on top of the onions. Pour 200ml water into the bottom of the tin, wrap well with foil and bake for 4 hrs. This can be done up to 2 days ahead - simply cover the tray in foil and chill until ready to barbecue.
  • Light the barbecue. In a bowl, mix the ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar. Remove the pork from the tin and pat dry. Place the roasting tin on the hob, pour in the ketchup mixture and bubble vigorously for 10-15 mins until thick and glossy. Remove the bay leaves and pour the sauce into a food processor; blitz until smooth. Smear half the sauce mixture over the meat.
  • Once the barbecue flames have died down, put on the pork, skin-side down. Cook for 15 mins until nicely charred, then flip over and cook for another 10 mins. The meat will be very tender, so be careful not to lose any between the bars. Alternatively, heat a combined oven-grill to high, place the pork on a baking tray and cook each side for 10-15 mins until nicely charred.
  • Lift the pork onto a large plate or tray. Remove string and peel off the skin. Using 2 forks, shred the meat into chunky pieces. Add 3-4 tbsp of the barbecue sauce to the meat and toss everything well to coat. Pile into rolls and serve with extra sauce and a little coleslaw.

BARBECUE PORK SANDWICHES WITH CABBAGE SLAW



Barbecue Pork Sandwiches with Cabbage Slaw image

You can have the slaw on the side or you might want to put it on top of your sandwich.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Quick BBQ Sauce
2 pork tenderloins, 12 to 16 ounces each
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons light-brown sugar
5 cups finely shredded green cabbage (half a 2-pound cabbage)
4 potato rolls, or other soft sandwich rolls

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Divide Quick BBQ Sauce between two bowls. Use one for basting the raw meat; reserve the other for serving with sandwiches.
  • Place pork on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Brush generously with sauce. Roast, basting occasionally with sauce, until an instant-read thermometer registers 150 degrees, 18 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make slaw: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, and brown sugar until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Mix in cabbage.
  • Thinly slice pork; serve on rolls, accompanied by slaw and reserved sauce.

Tips for Making the Best Barbecued Pork Sandwiches:

  • Choose the right cut of pork. Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for pulled pork because it has a good amount of fat that will keep the meat moist as it cooks.
  • Slow-cook the pork. The longer you cook the pork, the more tender it will be. For pulled pork, you'll want to cook it for at least 8 hours, but you can cook it for up to 12 hours if you have the time.
  • Use a good barbecue sauce. The barbecue sauce is what really makes the pulled pork sandwich, so be sure to use a sauce that you like. There are many different types of barbecue sauce available, so you can find one that fits your taste.
  • Cook the pork until it is fall-apart tender. This is the key to getting great pulled pork. When the pork is cooked, it should be so tender that you can easily shred it with two forks.
  • Serve the pulled pork on a soft bun. A soft bun will help to soak up all of the delicious barbecue sauce.
  • Top the pulled pork with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for pulled pork sandwiches include coleslaw, onion rings, and pickles.

Conclusion:

Barbecued pork sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make the best pulled pork sandwiches that your friends and family will love. From choosing the right cut of pork to using the best barbecue sauce, every step of the process is important. With a little time and effort, you can create a sandwich that is sure to be a hit.
