PULLED PORK SANDWICHES



Pulled Pork Sandwiches image

This recipe takes a good deal of time, but it yields a lot of sandwiches, more than enough for a sloppy, spicy dinner party feast. You'll roast a dry-rubbed pork shoulder in the oven until it's pull-apart tender, 3 or 4 hours that you can spend doing other things while your kitchen fills with the aroma of the cooking meat. Then you'll assemble a quick slaw and simmer a tangy barbecue sauce for about 10 minutes before putting it all out on the table with soft rolls. Serve the combination warm, at any time of the year, for a weekend project well worth an afternoon's work.

Time 6h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 1/2 teaspoons whole coriander seed
1 1/2 teaspoons whole cumin seed
1 1/2 teaspoons black peppercorns
2 1/4 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard powder
1 1/2 teaspoons chile powder
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
3 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder
Hamburger or brioche buns, for serving
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
2 garlic cloves, minced or grated
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons sweet or hot paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
Pinch of cayenne
Dash of hot sauce, more to taste
1 small head green cabbage, outer leaves removed, shredded (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 large jalapeño, seeded if desired, thinly sliced
3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Assemble the spice rub for the pork: In a dry, small skillet over medium-low heat, toast coriander, cumin and peppercorns until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle, grind toasted spices into a fine powder. Transfer to a bowl and mix with salt, mustard powder, chile powder and sugar.
  • If your roast is tied up, untie it. Massage meat generously with spice rub. If you have time, let meat rest for an hour or two at room temperature, or refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
  • Heat oven to 300 degrees. Place pork in a baking pan and roast for 3 to 4 hours or until meat is pull-apart tender and internal temperature reads 200 degrees on a meat thermometer. Let meat cool for at least 30 minutes before pulling it apart and shredding with your hands or two forks. (This works best when the meat is warm but not hot.)
  • Prepare the barbecue sauce: Combine ingredients in a medium pot. Simmer over medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce has deepened in color. Season with more hot sauce if you like. Add two-thirds of the sauce to meat and toss to coat, adding more sauce as needed. (Any leftover sauce will keep for at least 2 weeks in the refrigerator.)
  • Make the slaw: Combine cabbage, onion and jalapeño in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add dressing to cabbage and toss well.
  • Serve pulled pork with slaw, buns and hot sauce on the side, letting people assemble their own sandwiches.

2 tablespoons/30ml minced peeled fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups/500ml grated mozzarella
Chuck's Kimchi, recipe follows, for serving
8 thick slices egg bread
1/4 cup/60ml salt
1 large napa cabbage, cut into big chunks
1/4 cup/60ml rice flour or all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons/30ml sugar
1/2 cup/125ml red pepper powder
3 cloves garlic, minced
One 1-inch piece (2 1/2cm) fresh ginger, peeled

1/4 cup/60ml chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup/60ml fish sauce
2 tablespoons/30ml soy sauce
5 scallions, minced
2 to 3 large cucumbers, cubed

Steps:

  • Soak the wood chips in water for 30 minutes, then transfer to the smoker. Smoke the pork for 2 hours according to the manufacturer's instructions. Combine the brown sugar, chili sauce, molasses, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and garlic in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and whisk until combined. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork on all sides. Pour half the molasses mixture over the pork. Cover and cook in the oven until the meat is so tender it falls off the bone, about 6 hours. Let rest for 30 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and use a fork to pull and shred the meat (it will come off in threads). Set aside. Skim the fat from the surface of the braising liquid. Pour the remaining molasses mixture into the skillet and cook over medium-high heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. Pile the pork, cheese, a drizzle of the sauce, some kimchi and more cheese between the bread slices to make 4 sandwiches. Grill in a panini press. Cook's Note: If you don't have a smoker, you can skip that step or smoke the pork in a covered grill.
  • Dissolve the salt in 12 cups (3 liters) cold water. Add the cabbage and refrigerate for 4 hours. Rinse the cabbage thoroughly under cold running water at least 3 times. Pat dry. Bring 1 1/2 cups (375ml) water to a simmer in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the flour and whisk for 3 minutes. Add the sugar and continue to cook, whisking, for 1 minute more. Pulse the red pepper powder, garlic, ginger, lemongrass and onion in a food processor. Add the flour mixture and pulse to combine. Set the kimchi paste aside. Combine the brined cabbage, chives, fish sauce, soy sauce, scallions and cucumbers in a large bowl. Stir in the kimchi paste. Refrigerate until ready to use. You can eat it fresh, right after making it, or wait 24 hours until it has fermented. Yield: About 8 cups (2 liters).

Provided by valerio

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     100+ Pulled Pork Recipes

Time 8h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 29

2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons paprika
1 (3 1/2) pound pork butt roast with bone
4 cups beef stock
½ cup hot sauce
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon maple syrup
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 (16 ounce) bag coleslaw mix
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups ketchup
½ cup honey
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
2 tablespoons molasses
5 tablespoons cider vinegar
salt and ground black pepper to taste
8 Kaiser rolls, split

Steps:

  • Combine brown sugar, garlic powder, 2 tablespoons black pepper, red pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons salt, and paprika in a bowl. Rub the spice mixture over pork butt, cover, and refrigerate 5 hours or overnight.
  • Pour beef stock and 1/2 cup hot sauce in a pressure cooker. Stir in 3 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon molasses, maple syrup, and 4 crushed garlic cloves. Place the pork butt in the pressure cooker, seal the lid, and bring up to low pressure over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, maintaining low pressure, and cook for 2 hours.
  • While the pork is cooking, make the coleslaw. Mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon hot sauce, white vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl. Add the coleslaw mix and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Turn off the heat and let the pressure reduce naturally; remove the lid and let the pork rest for 5 minutes. The meat should shred easily with a fork; if it doesn't fall off the bone, reseal the lid, turn on the heat, return the pressure cooker to low pressure, and cook for another 30 minutes.
  • Remove meat from the pressure cooker, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Shred the meat using two forks and set aside.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 5 cloves of garlic; cook and stir until the garlic is fragrant and just starting to turn brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in ketchup, 1/2 cup honey, 2 tablespoons hot sauce, 2 tablespoons molasses, cider vinegar, and reserved cooking liquid. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Fill each Kaiser roll with two big forkfuls of pork, two tablespoons of barbeque sauce, and 2 spoonfuls of coleslaw.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork. Pork shoulder or pork butt are the best cuts for pulled pork because they are tough and have a lot of connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and makes the meat tender and flavorful.
  • Use a good rub. The rub is what gives pulled pork its flavor, so it's important to use a good one. There are many different rub recipes available, so experiment until you find one that you like.
  • Cook the pork low and slow. Pulled pork is best cooked low and slow, at a temperature of around 225 degrees Fahrenheit. This allows the meat to cook evenly and develop a rich flavor.
  • Let the pork rest before shredding. Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before shredding. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the pulled pork with your favorite sides. Pulled pork is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular sides include coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans, and cornbread.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be served with a variety of sides. Whether you are having a party or just want a simple weeknight meal, pulled pork is a great option.
