Categories     Pork

Time 8h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

3 1/2-4 lbs pork roast
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) can Coke
1 cup chicken stock
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup brown sugar
salad dressing
1 (1/2 ounce) package hidden valley ranch dressing mix
8 ounces salsa verde
2 garlic cloves
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/4-1/2 cup fresh cilantro
fresh lime juice (to taste)
1 head romaine lettuce
tortilla chips
1 (15 ounce) can black beans (if wanted)

Steps:

  • The night before: Mix together brown sugar, cayenne pepper, cumin, and salt. Then rub this mixture on roast. Put in crock pot on low. Cook all night. (My crock pot runs HOT, so I only cook mine for four hours instead of 8. But, others that have tried this recipe swear by the overnight rule.).
  • The next morning: Add Coke, chicken stock, garlic, onion. Continue cooking on low all day. (Again, I only do this for four more hours. I use a meat thermometers to make sure it's done.).
  • An hour before serving: Add the last cup of brown sugar.
  • Mix the salad dressing in a blender. Add lime juice to taste. Chill for several hours. If you like your dressing a little thinner, add buttermilk.
  • Shred the lettuce, pull the pork and put it on top of the lettuce, add beans, salad dressing, and broken tortilla chips. Enjoy!

PULLED PORK SALAD WITH GRILLED VEGETABLES



Pulled Pork Salad with Grilled Vegetables image

Provided by Food Network

Time 4h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 boneless pork shoulder roast, about 3 1/2 pounds
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 large handfuls hickory or apple wood chips, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
2 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise
1 sweet onion, cut in 1/2-inch rounds
Vegetable oil, for brushing
2 ears corn, husked
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons coarse mustard
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 garlic clove, crushed under a knife and peeled
1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 heads iceberg lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded and thinly sliced
3 radishes, thinly sliced
1/2 cup coarsely crushed honey roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • To smoke pork: Mix chili powder, garlic salt, onion powder, dry mustard and pepper together and season pork with spice mixture. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Prepare an outdoor grill for indirect cooking with medium heat, about 350 degrees F. For a gas grill: Use a smoker box or create one using small, shallow aluminum foil pan. Remove cooking grates. Preheat grill on high. Turn one burner off. Place disposable aluminum foil pan over on burner, adding 1 handful of drained chips. Replace grates. After chips begin smoking, adjust heat to 350 degrees F. For a charcoal grill: Place large disposable aluminum foil pan on one side of charcoal grate and fill with 1 quart water. Build fire on opposite side, and let burn until coals are coated with white ash. Spread coals in grill opposite pan and let burn 15-20 minutes (you should be able to hold your hand about 1 inch above the grate for about 3 seconds). Add 1 handful of drained chips to coals. Position cooking grate in grill. Lightly oil grill grate. Grill pork with indirect heat, with the lid closed, for 45 minutes. Add remaining drained chips to box or coals and grill for 45 minutes more. Wrap pork in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Grill over indirect heat, with lid closed, about 1 1/2 hours more. (On a charcoal grill, add more charcoal as needed to maintain temperature, leaving grill lid open for a few minutes to help charcoal ignite.) Unwrap pork and continue grilling until tender and spice coating is crusty, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a carving board and let rest for 20 to 30 minutes. Using a knife and your fingers, pull the pork into shreds, discarding excess fat. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. While pork is resting, make vegetables: Prepare grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat, about 450 degrees F. Brush grill grates clean. Lightly oil zucchini halves and onion slices (no need to oil corn). Place onion slices, zucchini and corn on grill and close grill lid. Grill onion slices, turning once, until seared with grid marks and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes; transfer to bowl. Grill zucchini, turning once, until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes; add to bowl. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until kernels are lightly browned in spots, 10 to 12 minutes; add to bowl. Let vegetables cool. Chop zucchini and onion into bite-sized pieces, cut kernels from corn, and return vegetables to bowl. Season with salt and pepper. To make dressing: Process all ingredients in blender together until smooth and thickened. If shredded pork has cooled, you may reheat it in large nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until warm, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, radishes, zucchini mixture with corn and onions, and 2/3 cup of dressing in a large bowl. Divide salad among 6 salad bowls and top each with equal amounts of warm pork. Sprinkle with peanuts and serve with remaining dressing passed on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for pulled pork because it is a tough, well-marbled cut that will become tender and flavorful when cooked slowly.
  • Cook the pork slowly and low: The key to tender pulled pork is to cook it slowly and low. This allows the collagen in the pork to break down and the flavors to develop.
  • Add a flavorful rub: Before cooking the pork, rub it with a mixture of spices and herbs. This will help to create a flavorful crust on the outside of the pork.
  • Use a good-quality tomatillo ranch dressing: The tomatillo ranch dressing is the perfect complement to the pulled pork. It is creamy, tangy, and flavorful.
  • Serve the pulled pork salad with a variety of toppings: Some popular toppings for pulled pork salad include avocado, corn, black beans, and cilantro.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork salad with tomatillo ranch dressing is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. The combination of tender pulled pork, creamy dressing, and fresh vegetables is sure to please everyone.
