SWEET AND SPICY PULLED PORK SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350f
• Place pork shoulder on baking sheet or cutting board and sprinkle on dry rub. Massage into meat and make sure all parts of the pork is covered.
• Place a lightly oiled dutch oven over medium high heat. Once temperature has been reached, lay in pork and sear on all sides. You are looking for a nice crush here so don't be shy. About 4 minutes per side.
• Once all sides of the meat is seared, add in the braising liquid ingredients and place it back on stove top over high heat. Once a simmer has been reached, place on the cover and place in the preheated oven for 90 minutes.
• After 90 minutes, remove the dutch oven from the oven, remove lid, and flip the pork shoulder over. Be careful not to splash yourself with hot braising liquid. Cover the pork and place back in the oven for an additional 90 minutes.
• Let's kick on with the slaw. Nothing fancy here. Add the cabbage, leek, cilantro, salt, mayo, and lemon juice in a bowl. Stir and then let chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
• After the pork is done cooking, remove from oven and let rest on stove top with lid on for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes, shred the pork with two forks. I like to shred directly in the braising liquid but maybe give it a taste test to make sure it's not too spicy for you.
• Now build the sandwich. I like to toast my buns and suggest you do the same. Enjoy with a cold beer.. if that is your thing!!

PULLED PORK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Assemble the spice rub for the pork: In a dry, small skillet over medium-low heat, toast coriander, cumin and peppercorns until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle, grind toasted spices into a fine powder. Transfer to a bowl and mix with salt, mustard powder, chile powder and sugar.
• If your roast is tied up, untie it. Massage meat generously with spice rub. If you have time, let meat rest for an hour or two at room temperature, or refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Place pork in a baking pan and roast for 3 to 4 hours or until meat is pull-apart tender and internal temperature reads 200 degrees on a meat thermometer. Let meat cool for at least 30 minutes before pulling it apart and shredding with your hands or two forks. (This works best when the meat is warm but not hot.)
• Prepare the barbecue sauce: Combine ingredients in a medium pot. Simmer over medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce has deepened in color. Season with more hot sauce if you like. Add two-thirds of the sauce to meat and toss to coat, adding more sauce as needed. (Any leftover sauce will keep for at least 2 weeks in the refrigerator.)
• Make the slaw: Combine cabbage, onion and jalapeño in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add dressing to cabbage and toss well.
• Serve pulled pork with slaw, buns and hot sauce on the side, letting people assemble their own sandwiches.
