Method

Pulled Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Pork

    In a large bowl, combine the pork shoulder with the mojo marinade, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the pork is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Preheat your slow cooker or oven to 300°F (150°C). If using a slow cooker, place the marinated pork in it and cook on low for 8 hours. If using an oven, place the pork in a roasting pan, cover with foil, and roast for about 4-5 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the cooker/oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.

BBQ Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the BBQ Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let it cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    Slice the coca buns in half and toast them lightly on a skillet or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread 1 tablespoon of Dijonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Add a generous portion of shredded pulled pork, followed by a layer of BBQ sauce, arugula, coleslaw, and pickle slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
