BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich image

The only match for this decadent slow cooker pulled pork is a slaw. I like my slaws simple: No mayo, nothing creamy, just zingy and crunchy. It's simply cabbage, carrots, cilantro or parsley, lime juice and salt. The end forever.

Time 6h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 package onion soup mix
Kosher salt
One 3-pound boneless pork shoulder (I used picnic)
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 large carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks (about 2 cups)
1/2 head green cabbage, shredded (about 3 cups)
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Juice of 1 lime

Steps:

  • Split hamburger buns and your favorite barbecue sauce, for serving
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Rub the onion soup mix and 2 tablespoons salt all over the pork, then sear until brown all over, about 4 minutes per side and 1 minute per edge.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, molasses, paprika and a pinch of salt to the slow cooker. Transfer the pork to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
  • Meanwhile, combine the carrot, cabbage, parsley, lime juice and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Toss to combine and chill until you're ready to inhale.
  • Remove the pork from the slow cooker, and gently shred it with two forks. (Discard any fat.) Toss the shreds back in with the cooking juices.
  • Serve the pulled pork on buns, topped with your favorite barbecue sauce and slaw!
