Rodney Scott's Secret Eastern Carolina Barbecue Sauce image

I'm showing you exactly what goes into this world-famous BBQ sauce. Well, not exactly exact, since no real pitmaster would ever reveal their ingredients. But based on what Rodney Scott's said about this sauce in interviews, videos, and tv shows, I think this is really, really close. Sauce is safe unrefrigerated but will last longer if kept in the fridge, for up to two months.

This is usually served on top of Eastern NC pork BBQ. Found somewhere on the web with a reference to a book by Bob Garner, "North Carolina BBQ -- Flavored by Time." It also says "Recipe by Ruthie Garner" but I'm not sure if that's who put it on the web from the book or that's who gave the recipe to the book. Also served on NC Crab cake sandwiches. OOohh...someone please take me back to NC!!

NORTH CAROLINA COLESLAW

Editor's note: The recipe below is adapted from Elizabeth Karmel's Web site, girlsatthegrill.com. This coleslaw originally accompanied Karmel's recipe for North Carolina Style Pulled Pork.

Provided by Elizabeth Karmel

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 small green cabbage*, grated or chopped into 1/8-inch-thick pieces
1 to 2 cups Lexington-Style Barbecue Sauce
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
freshly ground black pepper
*Some people insist on grating or chopping the cabbage by hand. In all the barbecue restaurants, they use a food processor and I have gotten used to the very finely minced coleslaw that they serve. So, feel free to use a food processor for this coleslaw.

Steps:

  • Combine cabbage and barbecue sauce. It should be wet, but not "floating" in the barbecue sauce. Let sit for at least 20 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator. Serve cold on top of barbecue on a white fluffy bun.
