Method

Pulled Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    In a slow cooker, place the pork shoulder. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and apple cider vinegar. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

  2. 2

    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. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Bacon and Ham Layer

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

  2. 4

    Warm the Ham

    In the same skillet, briefly warm the ham slices until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Pineapple Salsa Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salsa

    In a mixing bowl, combine the diced fresh pineapple, chopped red bell pepper, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Assemble the Sandwiches

  1. 6

    Build the Sandwich

    Slice the brioche buns in half. On the bottom half, layer the pulled pork, a slice of warm ham, and crispy bacon. Top with a generous spoonful of pineapple salsa. Place the top half of the bun on and serve immediately.
