Pulled Pork

Tobacco-Onions

Method

Pulled Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare and Cook the Pork

    Rub the pork shoulder with paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Place the pork in a slow cooker, add apple cider vinegar and chicken broth, then cook on low for 8 hours or until tender. Once cooked, shred the pork with two forks.

Coleslaw

  1. 2

    Make the Coleslaw

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and carrots. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

BBQ Sauce

  1. 3

    Prepare the BBQ Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes, then remove from heat.

Tobacco-Onions

  1. 4

    Prepare the Tobacco-Onions

    In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the thinly sliced onions in the mixture, shaking off excess. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the onions in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the artisan challah buns in half. Place a generous amount of pulled pork on the bottom half, followed by a scoop of coleslaw, a drizzle of BBQ sauce, a handful of shredded white cheddar, and a topping of tobacco-onions. Place the top half of the bun on and serve.
