SLOW COOKER PULLED PORK WITH ROOT BEER



Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with Root Beer image

Easy slow cooker pork shoulder is excellent for making delicious pulled pork sandwiches or serving as an entree. Serve over rice or with Hawaiian sweet bread for a yummy little sandwich. I like to top the pulled pork with sliced roasted red peppers, blue cheese, and chimichurri sauce to make a delicious sandwich with Argentinean flavor.

PORK IN ROOT BEER (GINGER BEER)



Pork in Root Beer (Ginger Beer) image

A simple but tastey dish using pork chops, strips or cubed pork. The ginger (root beer) can be subbed with ground ginger and lemonade. This cooks well in a crock pot, it is a casserole. The vegetables give the dish a slightly sweet taste as well as colour. I serve this with potatoes.

ROOT BEER PULLED PORK IN SHALLOT-ROOT BEER JUS WITH TANGY ONIONS AND JALAPENO CREME FRAICHE



Root Beer Pulled Pork in Shallot-Root Beer Jus with Tangy Onions and Jalapeno Creme Fraiche image

This recipe was inspired by the dessert, root beer float. Each component of this dish has a specific purpose, so when eaten in combination, you get a variety of elements. Tenderness, tartness, crunchiness, smooth and creamy. Lastly, a little root beer to remind you of that old soda fountain drink dessert. Please feel free to adjust any ingredients to fit your taste.

Time 3h45m

Yield 16 to 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

6 large yellow onions, peeled and roughly chopped
3 heads garlic, peeled, slightly crushed, kept whole
6 large oranges, juiced then quartered
8 jalapenos, halved
6 serrano chiles, halved
1 (750 ml) bottle Pinot Noir, or other red wine
4 (12-ounce) bottles root beer
Pinch kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pork Butt shoulders, cut into large chunks (about 15 pounds)
Shallot Root Beer Jus, recipe follows
Tangy Red Onions, recipe follows
Jalapeno Creme Fraiche, recipe follows
Chopped fresh chives or scallions, for garnish
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 shallots, peeled, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
4 (12-ounce) bottles root beer
4 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large red onions, peeled and julienned
1 (200 ml) bottle Pinot Noir red wine vinegar
1 cup red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup granulated sugar, or more to taste
3 containers creme fraiche (7 1/2 ounces each)
3 jalapenos, seeded and minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients, except the pork. Taste the marinade and season with more salt and pepper, if needed. If you want the dish to be spicy, add more jalapenos and serranos.
  • Season pork lightly with kosher salt and pepper. Divide pork into 2 large roasting pans and pour the marinade over top. Toss to coat with the marinade. Cover each pan with foil and put into the preheated oven. Alternatively, the pork can be marinated in the refrigerator for a few hours. Bring to room temperature before baking.
  • Bake the pork until tender and meat is falling apart, approximately 3 or more hours.
  • While the pork is cooking, prepare the Shallot Root Beer Jus, Tangy Red Onions and Jalapeno Creme Fraiche.
  • Remove the pork from the oven and shred the meat with forks, but leave it a bit chunky. Toss the shredded pork in the cooked marinade. Taste the meat and season, to taste. Keep warm.
  • Assembly: Make sure the pork is heated. If you made it the day before and it was in the refrigerator, reheat the meat and the jus. The onions can be chilled or brought to room temperature but do not heat, in order to maintain the crunchy texture.
  • Arrange few pieces of pork on each plate, then top with some Tangy Red Onions and garnish with a squeeze of Jalapeno Creme Fraiche. Poor the Shallot Root Beer Jus around the outside edge of the pork then garnish with chives or scallions.
  • Heat a large stock pot over medium-high heat and add the oil and butter, Heat until melted and hot but do not burn the butter. Add the shallots stirring occasionally. Caramelize the shallots slightly, season with salt, to taste, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow them to soften about 5 minutes and then add the root beer. Bring the root beer to a simmer and reduce slowly for approximately 2 hours. Season, to taste. The flavor of the shallots should be prominent to reduce the sweetness from the root beer.
  • Heat large saute pan over medium heat, add the oil and butter. Heat until melted and hot but do not burn butter. Add onions, stirring so that they do not brown. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the vinegars and turn heat down to medium-low, then season with salt and pepper, to taste. The onions will be really tart but you can add a tablespoon of sugar, at a time, to mellow it out a bit. You still want to keep that tanginess.
  • Continue cooking for 20 minutes letting the vinegars absorb into the onions. The onions will release some water so you will strain that off when you finish cooking. Transfer the onions to a bowl and cover. Let the onions sit overnight in the refrigerator. Finely chop before serving.
  • In a bowl, add the creme fraiche and the jalapenos. Season, to taste, with salt and white pepper and stir to combine. Put into a squeeze bottle, with large tip so it won't get plugged from the minced jalapenos.

ROOT BEER PULLED PORK



Root Beer Pulled Pork image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 16h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2- to 3-inch cubes
3 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup canola oil
8 cups root beer

Steps:

  • Day 1: Put the pork cubes in a casserole dish or baking sheet and rub them evenly with the salt and pepper. Cover in plastic and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
  • Day 2: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork until golden brown on all sides; transfer to a good-quality, high-walled braising pan and pour in the root beer. Cover the braising pan with parchment paper and then aluminum foil.
  • Place the pan in the oven and set a timer for 1 hour. When the timer goes off, lower the heat to 275 degrees F. Cook for another 2 hours. When the timer goes off again, check the pork to make sure it pulls apart easily. Stick a fork in it and twist--if it pulls apart easily, you're good to go!
  • Let rest for about 30 minutes. Once cooled, take the pork out of the braising liquid and pull it for sandwiches.

GINGER BEER PULLED PORK

A bit of a twist on the classic pulled pork.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Start the night or morning before you want to eat the pork. Mix together all the ingredients of the marinade in a lidded casserole dish, then stir in the pork and onion and ensure it's thoroughly coated. Cover and put in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight.
  • Put the casserole dish, with the lid on, in the oven at 150C for 4 hours. Check after about 3 hours to ensure the pork is still submerged in liquid - if it isn't, add more ginger beer if you have it or some water if not.
  • Remove from the oven and drain the pork, reserving the liquid. Put the liquid in a saucepan over a medium heat and bubble, stirring occasionally, to thicken. (If you are impatient, you could mix 1 tsp of cornflour with cold water, then tip the mixture into the sauce and stir - this will cause the sauce to thicken faster).
  • While the sauce is reducing, shred the pork with 2 forks. It should come apart easily into classic pulled-pork strands.
  • Mix the thickened sauce back into the pork and serve inside buns, with salad, pickles etc if you like them.
