Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     appetizer

Time 4h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium red onion, chopped
2 tablespoons salted butter
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons hot sauce
2 tablespoons dry mustard
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 pound Trisha's Pulled Pork, recipe follows
1/2 cup heavy cream, plus more if needed
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
12 slices white American cheese (about 6 ounces)
1 romaine heart, shredded
Half a 13-ounce bag tortilla chips
Half an 8-ounce bag kettle-cooked potato chips
One 8-ounce bag shredded Cheddar (2 cups)
Chopped red onions, for garnish
Sliced scallions, for garnish
3 pounds boneless country-style pork spareribs
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 cloves garlic, crushed
3 carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
1 large yellow onion, quartered
One 6-ounce can tomato paste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • For the barbecue pork: In a medium saucepan, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the butter and garlic and continue to cook until the garlic is softened. Add the ketchup, molasses, vinegar, hot sauce, mustard and brown sugar and simmer until the sugar is melted and the ingredients have combined, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender and carefully blend until smooth. Return to the pan, add Trisha's Pulled Pork and keep over low heat to warm through.
  • For the cheese sauce: Heat the cream and pepper in a small saucepan over low heat until it just begins to steam, about 3 minutes. Gradually add the cheese, stirring until the cheese is completely melted. Keep warm, adding a bit more cream if the sauce becomes too thick.
  • For the nachos: In a shallow casserole dish, spread the shredded romaine and then top with the tortilla and potato chips mixed together. Spread the pork over the chips and cover with the shredded Cheddar. Bake until the cheese has melted, 8 to 10 minutes. Pour the cheese sauce over top and garnish with the red onions and scallions.
  • Season the ribs well on all sides with salt and pepper.
  • In a large Dutch oven over high heat, heat the oil to a shimmer. Add the ribs and sear until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove the ribs and transfer to a plate. Add the garlic, carrots and onion and cook until golden and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of water and, using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add 2 more cups of water and stir to combine.
  • Return the ribs to the Dutch oven, cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook until fork-tender, about 3 hours.
  • Remove the ribs from the liquid and transfer to a baking sheet to cool. Strain the cooking liquid and reserve. When cool enough to handle, use 2 forks to shred the pork.

PULLED PORK NACHOS



PULLED PORK NACHOS image

Categories     Pork

Number Of Ingredients 36

Hot sauce
Black Beans
Onions
THE PULLED PORK:
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
3 1/2 to 4-pound bone-in pork butt, fat intact (also known as pork shoulder)
1/2 cup lager-style beer (like Budweiser)
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
FOR THE BARBECUE SAUCE:
12/13 - we used KC Style BBQ sauce and Stubb's Original
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup steak sauce or marinade (such as Dale's or Allegra)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon liquid smoke
Generous amount of freshly ground pepper
FOR THE CHEDDAR SAUCE:
2 eggs
1 cup (8 ounces) evaporated milk
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
Kosher salt, to taste

Steps:

  • To assemble the nachos, arrange the tortilla chips on a large serving platter. Pile with warm pulled pork. Drizzle barbecue and cheddar sauce over the top, to taste. Garnish with pickled jalapenos and crumbled queso fresco. Serve with cilantro-sour cream, salsa verde and hot sauce on the side. Note: If you only do one thing, though, by all means make the cheddar sauce from scratch. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. First, make the spice rub. Whisk together the paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, mustard powder and cayenne. Massage the spice rub into the pork butt, coating on all sides. Place the rubbed pork in a large Dutch oven; add beer, cider vinegar and liquid smoke. Cover and cook for approximately 3 hours, basting occasionally, until the pork easily falls apart. Remove the pork to a large cutting board while still hot. Cut off excess fat and carefully shred the meat; it is harder to pull once it has cooled. (I either wear heavy-duty rubber gloves on my hands or use my new "bear paws," but two large forks would work, too.) Place the shredded pork back into the Dutch oven and toss with its cooking juices. Cover and set aside until moving forward with the recipe. Yield: 1 1/2 to 2 pounds pulled pork, depending on the amount of fat and bone on the cut. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the eggs and evaporated milk. Turn heat to medium-low; add mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and half of the shredded cheese. Once the cheese sauce begins to warm, add the cornstarch-water mixture (aka the slurry). Whisking frequently, gradually add the remaining cheese and cook until the sauce reaches desired thickness, 10 to 13 minutes. (The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Stir in more evaporated milk if necessary.) To reheat the cheddar sauce, add additional evaporated milk to the cheese, one tablespoon at a time, while whisking over medium-low heat until desired consistency is reach

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the ideal cut for pulled pork nachos because it has a good amount of fat that keeps the meat moist and flavorful during the cooking process.
  • Prepare a Flavorful Rub: Create a flavorful rub using a combination of spices like paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and salt. Apply the rub generously to the pork shoulder, ensuring it covers all sides evenly.
  • Slow-Cook to Perfection: Slow-cooking the pork shoulder is key to achieving tender and juicy pulled pork. Use a slow cooker or Dutch oven to cook the pork on low heat for 8-10 hours or until it shreds easily with a fork.
  • Enhance the Flavor with a Sauce: To add an extra layer of flavor to the pulled pork, consider preparing a simple sauce using ingredients like barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, and brown sugar. Brush the sauce over the pulled pork during the last hour of cooking.
  • Load Up on Nachos Toppings: When assembling the nachos, use high-quality ingredients for the toppings. Opt for melty cheese, fresh vegetables, and your favorite nacho toppings like guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, and jalapeños.
  • Serve Immediately: Pulled pork nachos are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the oven. Serve them immediately to ensure the chips stay crispy and the cheese remains melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork nachos are an easy and delicious appetizer or main course perfect for gatherings and parties. With the right ingredients and a bit of preparation, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that will impress your guests. Experiment with different toppings and sauces to find the perfect combination that suits your taste preferences.
