Pulled Pork Sandwiches When I lived in the South, I loved a great BBQ pulled pork sandwich on a lazy, sunny afternoon. Here’s a great recipe for making a classic BBQ meal for family and friends.
BBQ Pulled Pork 1 Whole Pork Shoulder 3.5 oz Chef Haig’s Whatever Rub™ Pork
Trim some fat from the shoulder (but be careful, because fat is flavor)
Rub entire shoulder down with Chef Haig’s Whatever Rub™ Pork
Place on rack and cook for 4-6 hours in a smoker, 250⁰ oven or BBQ
Pork shoulder should have great blackened crust and be falling apart
Coleslaw 1 half head shredded red cabbage 1 half head shredded green cabbage 1 large carrot shredded on cheese grater 1 XX mayonnaise ½ c White Wine Vinegar 1 t Celery Seed ¼ c sugar 1 T Pineapple Juice
Whisk together mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, celery seed, sugar and pineapple juice
Taste mixture and adjust
Too sweet – add mayonnaise
Too vinegary – add sugar
Too mayo-ey – add a splash of vinegar
Combine cabbages and carrots in a separate bowl
Add dressing and toss 10 minutes before serving
The slaw will get soggy if it sits for more than 10 minutes
If slaw sits too long, drain off excess water and re-toss
BBQ Sauce (you can use your favorite sauce or whip up this quick and easy one) 1 8-ounce can Tomato Sauce 1 8-ounce can Tomato Paste 2 T Brown Sugar 2 T Vinegar 2 T Olive Oil 3 cloves Garlic, crushed 1 t Dry Mustard 4 T Onion, minced 1 T Worcestershire Sauce 1 t Dry Mustard 1 t Cayenne Pepper Fresh ground Pepper to taste
Cook minced onion and crushed garlic in olive oil until onions are translucent.
Add remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly
Simmer on low heat for 20 minutes
Constructing a BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich
Shred Pork with forks (or by any means necessary)
Add in BBQ sauce a little bit at a time and stir (don’t overpower the pork!)
Toast buns
Start with the bottom bun, add BBQ Pulled Pork, add Pickle Chips, add Coleslaw and finish with top bun
