Toppings

Method

Pulled Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Pork

    In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork shoulder.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Add apple cider vinegar. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix in the barbecue sauce. Let it cook on low for an additional 30 minutes to meld the flavors.

Brioche Buns Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the pork finishes cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Brush the melted butter onto the cut sides of the mini brioche buns.

  2. 5

    Toast the Buns

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the buns cut side down in the skillet and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Assembling the Sandwiches

  1. 6

    Assemble the Mini Sandwiches

    Take a toasted mini brioche bun, add a generous portion of the smoked pulled pork, then top with coleslaw and pickles. Close the sandwich with the top half of the bun.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Arrange the assembled sandwiches on a platter and serve warm.
