My Southern roots are calling again and the temptation was far too strong to resist! Anyone up for some pulled pork sandwiches topped with Southern style coleslaw? I thought so.
All we need is some sweet tea and a rocking chair and we’re set!
Southern Style Cole Slaw
Ingredients:
4 cups cabbage, shredded
4 carrots, shredded
4-5 green onions. sliced thin
3 tbls. mayonnaise
3/4 tsp. ground ginger
1 tbls. apple cider vinegar
3 tbls. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
hot pepper flakes, optional
Wash vegetables and shred cabbage and carrots in a large bowl.
Add sliced onions and remaining ingredients. Mix well.
For a spicier version of this slaw, add some hot pepper flakes to the mixture.
Allow slaw to refrigerate 15-20 minutes before serving.
Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Ingredients:
3-4 lb. pork roast with bone
2 bottles of homemade root beer (see recipe here)
1 cup BBQ sauce (I used Apple Chipotle BBQ sauce), plus 1/2 cup more for serving
1 tbls. Worcestershire sauce
2 tbls. dark molasses
1 capful of liquid smoke
2 cups water
1 onion, coarsely chopped sliced
1/2 tsp. cumin
seasoned salt and pepper
Hamburger buns
Wash pork roast and cut into large chunks, if desired. Set meat in a large bowl.
Add enough root beer to cover meat and allow to marinate in refrigerator for 24 hours.
Drain marinade and set meat in pressure cooker, along with remaining ingredients and set stove on high heat.
Cover pressure cooker and cook for 1 hour at 15 lbs. of pressure.
Allow all pressure to escape from pressure cooker before opening.
With a fork, shred pork and add remaining 1/2 c. BBQ sauce.
Add meat to a hamburger bun and top with cabbage slaw.
