Pulled Pork Sliders

I love Chef Rob Feenie, and I have all of his cookbooks. This recipe comes from his cookbook "Casual Classics".The pork is rubbed with a spice mixture and then cooked slowly in a 250 degree oven for 8-10 hours. I put the pork in the oven right before I go to bed and then "presto" the meat is ready to be pulled!! I simplified a few items after making this recipe a few times. Chef Feenie makes his own BBQ sauce and vinaigrette for the coleslaw, but I prefer my favourite store bought brands instead. The Napa cabbage is so wonderful and I now prefer it to regular cabbage after making this coleslaw.

Ingredients:

3kg pork shoulder or pork butt (with bone if you can find one)


Dry Rub:

1 Tablespoon ground cumin

1 Tablespoon garlic powder

1 Tablespoon onion powder

1 Tablespoon chili powder

1 Tablespoon cayenne powder

1 Tablespoon black pepper

1 Tablespoon paprika

½ Cup brown sugar ½ Cup Kosher salt

(You will not use all of this on the pork. Store unused portion in a jar, or divide recipe for rub in half).

Combine all the rub ingredients.

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

Rub the pork generously with the spice mixture.

Place the pork in a roasting pan. Cover with foil or lid and cook for 8-10 hours. I did this before I went to bed and in the morning I woke up to the wonderful aromas of yumminess!

Allow pork to cool a bit, then pull the pork into individual pieces.

I divided the pork in half and placed one portion into a resealable plastic bag and froze it for another meal


Continuation of Ingredients:


BBQ Sauce (homemade or your favourite)

BBQ Sauce mayonnaise (2-3 Tablespoons BBQ sauce +½ Cup Mayonnaise)

Small soft buns


Napa Cabbage Slaw

4 Cups shredded/or thinly sliced Napa cabbage

2 Cups shredded carrots

1 Cup sliced green onions

Kraft Coleslaw salad dressing


In a oven-proof dish combine pulled pork and ½ Cup of BBQ sauce. Cover with aluminum foil and warm the meat in a 375 degree oven. Remove once heated through. Set aside.

Combine slaw ingredients. Add desired amount of salad dressing to the vegetables.Set aside.

In a small bowl combine 2-3 tablespoons of bbq sauce with ½ Cup of mayonnaise. Set aside.(I like lots of mayo so I doubled the mayo and bbq sauce)

Slice buns and warm them up in the oven.

Remove buns from the oven. Slather each half with bbq mayonnaise. Top with desired amount of pulled pork. Drizzle a little bbq sauce over the meat. Top meat with the Napa slaw. Enjoy!
