Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons hot paprika
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
One 4-pound boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 6 pieces
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, plus more to taste
3 tablespoons tomato paste
12 hamburger potato buns
1 cup barbecue sauce, for serving
4 cups coleslaw, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine paprika, mustard powder, cumin, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork.
  • Turn the Instant Pot® (see Cook's Note) to the high saute setting. Add the oil and once hot, add the pork and cook in two batches, turning, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Switch the Instant Pot® to the warm setting, remove the pork and transfer to a plate.
  • Whisk 3/4 cup water into the drippings in the Instant Pot®. Add the vinegar, tomato paste, the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 2 cups water and whisk to combine. Add the pork back. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 1 hour.

  • Switch the Instant Pot® to the normal saute setting and simmer the juices until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. While the juices are reducing use a ladle to remove any fat that rises to the top. Season to taste with salt.
  • Meanwhile, use 2 forks to shred the pork in to small chunks.
  • Add 3 cups of the reduced cooking liquid to the chunked pork and season with salt and vinegar to taste. Serve in hamburger buns with barbecue sauce and coleslaw.

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.

BBQ PULLED PORK SANDWICH



BBQ pulled pork sandwich image

Slow cook pork shoulder for four hours in the oven to tenderise then finish on a BBQ. Serve with a thick, tangy sauce

Provided by James Martin

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 4h55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 onions , sliced
3 bay leaves
1 tbsp each mustard powder and smoked paprika
1.5-2kg/3lb 5oz-4lb 8oz) pork shoulder , boned with rind attached and tied (ask your butcher to do this)
140g tomato ketchup
4 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
3 tbsp soft dark brown sugar
2 French stick , sliced into rolls, and coleslaw, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Scatter the onions and bay leaves in the bottom of a large roasting tin. Mix the mustard powder, paprika and 1 tsp ground black pepper with a good pinch of salt. Rub this all over the pork, making sure you rub it into all the crevices. Place the pork, rind-side up, on top of the onions. Pour 200ml water into the bottom of the tin, wrap well with foil and bake for 4 hrs. This can be done up to 2 days ahead - simply cover the tray in foil and chill until ready to barbecue.
  • Light the barbecue. In a bowl, mix the ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar. Remove the pork from the tin and pat dry. Place the roasting tin on the hob, pour in the ketchup mixture and bubble vigorously for 10-15 mins until thick and glossy. Remove the bay leaves and pour the sauce into a food processor; blitz until smooth. Smear half the sauce mixture over the meat.
  • Once the barbecue flames have died down, put on the pork, skin-side down. Cook for 15 mins until nicely charred, then flip over and cook for another 10 mins. The meat will be very tender, so be careful not to lose any between the bars. Alternatively, heat a combined oven-grill to high, place the pork on a baking tray and cook each side for 10-15 mins until nicely charred.
  • Lift the pork onto a large plate or tray. Remove string and peel off the skin. Using 2 forks, shred the meat into chunky pieces. Add 3-4 tbsp of the barbecue sauce to the meat and toss everything well to coat. Pile into rolls and serve with extra sauce and a little coleslaw.

BARBECUED PORK SANDWICH



Barbecued Pork Sandwich image

Enjoy a savory barbecue sandwich with this recipe from Bruce and Eric Bromberg's "Blue Ribbon Cookbook."Photo credit: Quentin Bacon

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Yield Makes 6 to 8 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 12

16 cloves garlic, peeled
2 small yellow onions, coarsely chopped
1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
1 large rib celery, chopped
3 tablespoons ground cumin
1/4 cup coarse salt
1 (5-pound) pork butt
4 cups Barbecue Sauce
Shredded iceberg lettuce, for serving
6 to 8 ciabatta rolls, halved horizontally, soft centers removed, toasted, for serving
Garlic Dill Pickles, for serving
Coleslaw, for serving

Steps:

  • Place garlic, onions, carrot, celery, cumin, and salt in the bowl of a food processor; process until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add 1/2 cup water; process until well combined. Place pork in a large, deep roasting pan. Rub pork generously with vegetable puree; cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add enough water to the roasting pan so that it comes halfway up the sides of the pork. Cover pan tightly with parchment paper-lined aluminum foil and transfer to oven. Bake until pork is very tender and falling apart, about 5 hours, checking pan occasionally to make sure water has not evaporated and adding more water as necessary.
  • Remove pork from oven. Let stand until cool enough to handle. (At this point, pork may be kept refrigerated and covered for up to 5 days.)
  • Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
  • Shred pork with a fork or pull apart using your fingers; discard any excess fat. In a large baking dish, combine shredded pork with 3 cups barbecue sauce. Transfer to oven and cook until mixture is heated through and bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Divide pork and shredded lettuce evenly among rolls. Serve with remaining cup of barbecue sauce, pickles, and coleslaw.

Tips:

  • For a smoky flavor, cook the pork shoulder over indirect heat on a charcoal or gas grill, or in a smoker.
  • To make the pork more tender, braise it in a slow cooker or Dutch oven with a mixture of liquid and spices.
  • If you don't have time to cook the pork for several hours, you can use a pressure cooker to speed up the process.
  • Shred the pork with two forks or with a meat shredder.
  • Serve the pulled pork sandwiches with your favorite BBQ sauce, coleslaw, and pickles.

Conclusion:

Shredded barbecued pork sandwiches are a classic American comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're tailgating at a football game, having a backyard barbecue, or just enjoying a casual meal at home, these sandwiches are sure to be a hit. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can make delicious pulled pork sandwiches that your family and friends will love.
