Categories     Pork

Time 5h20m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 5 pound pork butt roast or shoulder roast
2 tsp salt
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/2 1/2 head purple cabbage
1 medium onion, grated
5 carrots, shredded
1 c cider vinegar
4 green onion
2 Tbsp sugar
1/4 c dijon mustard
1 Tbsp pork drippings
3 Tbsp coconut oil
1 c cider vinegar
1 c yellow mustard
3/4 c brown sugar
1/2 tsp cayennne
1/2 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. For The Pulled Pork: Preheat oven to 450 F. Pull the pork from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Rinse and then pat dry with paper towels. Season pork with salt, and pepper. Rub with 1-2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and place in a roasting pan; roast for 1 hour. Reduce the oven temp to 350 degrees F and continue to cook for 3½ to 4 hours, or until the meat is very tender. Remove from oven and cool for 30 minutes. Using 2 forks, pull the meat into small pieces. Discard any fat you find. Reserve a table spoon of the pork drippings for the Tangy Warm Cabbage Slaw.
  • 2. For The Tangy Warm Cabbage Slaw: In a mixing bowl, toss cabbage, onion, carrots, green onions and celery seeds. In saucepan, combine vinegar, dijon, sugar, salt, and bacon drippings. Bring just to a simmer. Pour over cabbage and toss well. Serve warm. Garnish with more green onions to make it beautiful!
  • 3. For The Sweet & Tangy BBQ Sauce : (This makes about 16 ounces. You may want to double the recipe.) While the pork is roasting, combine the vinegar, mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, salt, cayenne, and black pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Take it off the heat an let it sit until you're ready for it. Remove the smashed garlic cloves from the sauce. Then pour the BBQ sauce over the pulled pork, gently folding it together

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder or pork butt is the best cut for pulled pork because it has a good amount of fat and connective tissue, which makes it tender and flavorful when cooked slowly.
  • Slow cook the pork: Pulled pork is best cooked slowly over low heat, either in a slow cooker or in the oven. This allows the connective tissue to break down and the meat to become tender and juicy.
  • Use a flavorful rub: A good rub will help to add flavor to the pork. Common ingredients in pulled pork rubs include brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Baste the pork: Basting the pork with a mixture of apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and water will help to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks. This will make it easier to eat and will also help to incorporate the flavorful rub into the meat.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be served on a bun with barbecue sauce, used as a filling for tacos or burritos, or added to salads or soups. No matter how you choose to serve it, pulled pork is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
