Method

Pulled Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    In a slow cooker, combine the pork shoulder, chopped onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, brown sugar, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Pour in the apple cider vinegar and chicken broth.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker to soak up the juices.

BBQ Sauce

  1. 4

    Make the BBQ Sauce

    In a bowl, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 5

    Combine with Pork

    Add the BBQ sauce to the shredded pork in the slow cooker and stir to combine. Let it cook for an additional 30 minutes on low.

Slaw

  1. 6

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large bowl, mix together shredded cabbage, grated carrot, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembly

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the brioche buns lightly. Spoon the pulled pork onto the bottom half of the bun, top with slaw, and spread mayonnaise on the top half. Serve immediately.
