BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich

  3.0 – 2 reviews  • Pulled Pork

This mouthwatering curry recipe may be made with any kind of fish filet, including cod, halibut, or tilapia. I’ve previously prepared chicken in the same curry sauce. Serve alongside a lot of rice.

  28. 1 cup strong brewed coffee
  29. 1 tablespoon molasses
  30. 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  31. 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  32. 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
  33. 4 Italian-style hoagie buns, split lengthwise and toasted
  34. ¼ cup onion, chopped (Optional)
  35. ¼ cup jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine coleslaw mix, pepperoncini peppers, red onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon granulated garlic, Dijon mustard, white sugar, salt, 1/2 teaspoon granulated onion, and lemon pepper in a large bowl. Toss until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  3. Combine kosher salt, black pepper, 2 tablespoons granulated garlic, 2 tablespoons granulated onion, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
  4. Place pork shoulder in a large roasting pan. Rub with 1/4 cup molasses on all sides and between any crevices. Sprinkle with kosher salt seasoning mixture and rub over all sides.
  5. Cover pan tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil and roast pork in the preheated oven until tender and a thermometer inserted reaches 200 degrees F (95 degrees C), 3 to 4 hours. Transfer pork to a cutting board, reserving pan juice, and allow to cool slightly before pulling. Using two forks, shred the pork shoulder into bite-size pieces. Transfer meat to a large bowl and toss with some of the pan juices to keep it moist.
  6. Pour reserved pan juices into a large pot over medium heat. Add barbeque sauce, coffee, 1 tablespoon molasses, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, dry mustard, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 15 minutes. Add shredded pork and stir until warm, about 5 minutes.
  7. Fill each hoagie bun with pork mixture. Top with 1 to 2 cups coleslaw. Garnish with 1 tablespoon onion and 1 tablespoon jalapeno.

This recipe has too many ingredients, is too over powering with the spices an is too sweet. I’m afraid that I wont be making this again.

I made numerous adjustments to this recipes. Here is what I adjusted: ColeSlaw: 3/4 cup mayo; 2 tablespoons of lemon juice; 2 – 3 tablespoons of red wine vinegar; Everything else was the same. My husband did not like the pepperoncini peppers in the coleslaw. Pulled Pork: 2 teaspoons of kosher salt; 2 teaspoons of black pepper; 2 teaspoons of granulated garlic; 2 teaspoons of granulated onion; 1 teaspoons of cayenne pepper; 1 teaspoon of allspice; 16 ozs. of apple juice; I cooked the pork in the crockpot for 8 hours. Every other measurement of other spices remained the same. Sauce: Followed the recipe for the sauce adding some of the apple juice/meat juices to the sauce. The dinner turned out awesome. I have cooked enough to know that amount of spices written in this recipe would have been overwhelming. -Karen J 0606
