BBQ PULLED PORK SANDWICHES
Preparing pork roast in the slow cooker makes it so moist and tender...so it's perfect for these sandwiches. The meat shreds easily, and the cumin and garlic add just the right flavor. The sourdough bread, chipotle mayonnaise, cheese and tomato make it complete.-Tiffany Martinez, Aliso Viejo, California

BBQ PULLED PORK SANDWICHES
This meal is one we always eat too much of. I recommend using Sweet Baby Ray's or Jack Daniel's original BBQ sauce. A good quality sauce makes a lot of difference. I serve it with my Sweet, Creamy Coleslaw #100526.

Transfer meat to a large bowl and toss with some of the pan juices to keep it moist.

Steps:
- Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before proceeding. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil. Season the roast well on all sides with the Essence, salt, and cayenne pepper. Place a roasting rack inside the roasting pan and place the seasoned pork on the rack, fat side up. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 4 hours.
- Remove the foil from the roast and continue to bake until the roast is very tender and will pull apart easily with a fork, about 2 hours longer. Remove the pork from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Remove any excess fat from the roast and discard if desired; I just love the crunchy bits of skin left on top! Using 2 forks or your hands, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces. Serve with sauce and buns to make sandwiches.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Add the garlic, paprika, Essence, ground mustard, salt, crushed red pepper, black pepper, and cayenne pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes, or until the tomato paste begins to brown. Add the water, cider vinegar, and dark brown sugar, and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have come together, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Set aside to cool before using. The sauce may be made up to 1 week in advance and refrigerated in an airtight, non-reactive container.

Tips:
- 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, which helps to keep the meat moist and flavorful during the long cooking process.
- Use a flavorful rub: The rub is what gives pulled pork its distinctive flavor, so it's important to use a blend of spices that you enjoy. Some popular options include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin.
- Cook the pork low and slow: Pulled pork is best cooked at a low temperature for a long period of time. This allows the meat to break down and become tender, while the collagen in the connective tissue melts, creating a rich and flavorful sauce.
- Use a good quality BBQ sauce: The BBQ sauce is another important element of pulled pork sandwiches. Look for a sauce that is thick and flavorful, with a good balance of sweet, sour, and smoky flavors.
- Serve the pulled pork on soft, fluffy buns: The buns are the perfect vehicle for pulled pork sandwiches. Make sure to toast the buns lightly before serving, to help them hold up to the weight of the meat and sauce.
Conclusion:
Pulled pork sandwiches are a classic American comfort food that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're cooking for a party or just a weeknight dinner, these sandwiches are sure to be a hit. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make delicious pulled pork sandwiches at home. So fire up your grill or smoker and get started today!
