Steps:
- For the BBQ sauce: Combine the ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, garlic, cider vinegar, Worcestershire, Cajun seasoning and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring until ingredients are completely incorporated. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently until the flavors have melded and sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. If not using right away, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
- For the pulled pork: Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
- Spread out the onions and garlic in an even layer in a roasting pan and pour in the chicken stock. Combine the Cajun seasoning and brown sugar in a small bowl. Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels and then rub all over with the spice mixture. Set the pork on top of the onions and garlic and cover the roasting pan with foil. Transfer to the oven and cook until the pork is fork tender, 6 to 8 hours.
- Remove the pork to a cutting board to cool. Strain the cooking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve and reserve.
- If the pork has a bone, remove and discard it. With two forks, shred the meat into bite-size pieces, discarding any large pieces of fat. Return the shredded meat to the roasting pan. Add 2 cups of the BBQ sauce and a bit of the reserved cooking liquid if too dry.
- For the coleslaw: Combine the red and green cabbage, carrots and red onions in a large bowl. Whisk together the mayonnaise, cider vinegar, sugar, and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl, and then add to the cabbage mixture. Mix well to combine. Taste for seasoning; adjust with more salt, pepper or sugar as needed.
- Serve the pulled pork on buns topped with coleslaw.

Steps:
- Spray slow cooker with a little bit of non-stick cooking spray or olive oil.
- In a small saucepan, mix together seasonings (paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dry mustard) and rub on the outside of the pork roast. Take a larger roast. Place pork roast in slow cooker.
- Pour beef broth around the bottom of the slow cooker (don't pour it directly on the roast or it will rinse off all the seasonings).
- Cook on low heat for 8-10 hours (or high heat for 5-6, but I feel like the pork is more tender if you cook it on low).
- Shred the meat with 2 forks and pour in a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce. Mix all together and serve on a bun with coleslaw.
- To make the coleslaw, combine coleslaw, cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, make dressing by combining mayonnaise, vinegar, celery seed, sugar, salt and pepper. Toss dressing into cabbage mixture and let chill until ready to serve.

Tips:
- When choosing a cabbage for your coleslaw, look for one that is firm and heavy. Avoid heads of cabbage that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the coleslaw to absorb the dressing more easily.
- If you don't have time to make your own coleslaw dressing, you can use a store-bought dressing. However, be sure to taste the dressing before adding it to the coleslaw, as some store-bought dressings can be quite sweet.
- Add some shredded carrots, celery, or onion to your coleslaw for extra flavor and texture.
- Serve the coleslaw immediately or chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Red and green coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is also a great way to use up leftover cabbage. With its vibrant colors and tangy flavor, this coleslaw is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
