Today I am sharing a great crockpot summer recipe: Pulled Pork Sandwiches and Coleslaw. I made this several times and everyone in my family loves it! It's easy and really tasty. Took the inspiration from my favourite cookbook "Ricardo" but slightly modified the original recipe.
Ingredients for the Pulled Pork
1 pork shoulder roast of about 4 pounds
1 cup of ketchup
1/2 cup of cider vinegar
1/2 cup of apple jelly
2 tablespoons of dijon mustard
2 tablespoons of molasses
2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons of chili powder
2 teaspoons of onion powder
1 teaspoon of Tabasco
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
Salt & pepper
1- In the slow cooker, mix all the ingredients for the sauce (everything except the pork roast and the salt & pepper).
2- Add the pork roast to the slow cooker and cover with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
3- Cover and cook for 8 hours at low temperature.
4- Remove the meat from the slow cooker. Shred the meat with a fork and place the meat in a bowl. Cover the meat with some sauce and keep warm.
5- Grill 8 big hamburger buns.
6- Cover the bottom bun with the shredded meat, then coleslaw (recipe to follow). Close with the top bun and serve immediately.
Super Easy Coleslaw
1 bag of coleslaw (see picture)
About 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
1 teaspoon of dried dill
3 tablespoons of pickle vinegar (yes, yes the vinegar from a jar of pickles, trust me it's great!)
salt and pepper to taste
Place all the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well.
Hope you and your family enjoy this great recipe.

Okay, now you've struck a chord. This is good, old fashioned North Carolina BBQ. You can get it elsewhere (Pierce's in Williamsburg VA is a personal favorite of mine), but it all started on the coast of NC. The slaw makes it good -- and also marks it as being from the Carolina coast. They make something close to it in South Carolina (call it bog or something like that), but if you want the real deal you need to head down to NC. My favorite place for NC BBQ is on the Outer Banks. There's nothing like sitting on the beach in the evening, while chomping on a BBQ sandwich. Darn, my mouth is watering!
ReplyDeleteThanks I really need to travel a little bit more to get to taste all the amazing foods out there!
