Pulled Pork Sliders With Hawaiian Slaw Food

SLOW-COOKER HAWAIIAN PULLED PORK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the Hawaiian pulled pork: In a small bowl, mix the onion powder, salt, garlic powder and pepper. Rub the mixture on all sides of the pork. Put the pork in a slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours.
• Shred the pork with 2 forks, removing any large pieces of fat. Pour the broth into a fat separator or skim off the fat. In a bowl, whisk 2 cups of the skimmed broth with the crushed pineapple, hoisin, honey, soy sauce and vinegar. Put the pork back in the slow cooker and stir in the sauce. Cook on low for 1 hour.
• For the slaw: Meanwhile, combine the cabbage, rice vinegar, sugar, celery seeds and some salt and pepper in a bowl and toss to coat. Let stand, tossing frequently, until the cabbage wilts, about 20 minutes.
• Serve the pulled pork on Hawaiian buns topped with slaw.

Steps:

• For the BBQ pork: Whisk together the smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder and onion powder in a large bowl. Add the pork shoulder and turn to coat.
• Heat the oil in a large saute pan over low heat and cook the pork, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove the pork to a plate. Combine the onions with the chili sauce, vinegar, brown sugar and 1 cup water in a slow cooker and whisk together. Add the pork shoulder, cover and cook on low until the pork is hot and cooked through, 8 to 10 hours.
• Remove the pork to a cutting board and set aside. Pour the liquid into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook over high heat until reduced by half or the sauce is thick, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, shred the pork with 2 forks or chop into pieces. Put back in the slow cooker and top with the reduced sauce, to taste.
• For the slaw: Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the cabbage and carrots and toss until coated.
• To serve, place the pulled pork on the bottom buns, top with the slaw, then close the sliders.

HAWAIIAN PULLED PORK SLIDERS

Steps:

• If you have leftover pulled pork in the fridge, you can skip slow cooking the pork and jump right to making the sliders.

PULLED PORK SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Set the pork on a cutting board and score the fat in a crosshatch pattern, making the cuts about 3/4 inch deep and 1 inch apart. Make the rub: Combine the pimenton, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, celery salt, mustard powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl. Massage it into the meat.
• Place the pork in a roasting pan and pour the beer into the pan. Cover with foil and roast 3 hours. Check it periodically to make sure everything is going along just fine, and turn the roast over every hour.
• Remove the foil and continue roasting until the pork has reached an internal temperature of 190 degrees F, about 1 1/2 more hours. Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil and let rest 30 minutes.
• Sometime during the marathon cooking time, make the sauce: Combine the vinegar, garlic, chile, brown sugar, tomato paste, dijon mustard and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Taste it to make sure it is delicious; set aside. Remove the chile. When the sauce is cool, I recommend putting it in a squeeze bottle for easy use.
• Pull the pork into long shreds using 2 forks. Get rid of the fat and anything else that doesn't look delicious. Toss the pork with any residual pan juices and add salt to taste.
• Serve the pork on slider rolls with a drizzle of sauce; top with coleslaw.

Steps:

• For the pulled pork: Sprinkle the pork with salt and add to a 6- to 7-quart slow cooker, along with the ketchup, soy sauce, honey, ginger, sesame oil and garlic. Cook on low until completely tender, about 8 hours.
• Shred the pork into small pieces and toss in the sauce to coat. Add salt to taste.
• For the pineapple slaw: Whisk together the oil, vinegar, honey and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the coleslaw mix, pineapples, jalapenos and scallions and toss to coat.
• Make slider sandwiches with the sweet rolls, pulled pork and pineapple slaw.

Steps:

• For the roast pork: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, cinnamon and cumin to make a dry rub. Massage the rub over the pork, making sure to rub it in between the scored fat cap. Wrap the pork in plastic wrap and let it sit for 2 hours or overnight in the fridge.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F with the oven rack in the middle position.
• Remove the plastic wrap from the pork and place in a Dutch oven with a lid. Cover and place in the oven to roast for 3 hours. After 3 hours, uncover and cook for another 45 minutes to brown the fat and cook until the pork registers 200 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the oven and let rest for 20 minutes.
• For the sandwich build: Using two forks or your hands, pull apart the warm pork. Toss with the Chile Sauce. Butter and toast the buns until golden brown. Place ample quantities of pork on the bottom bun and top with Grilled Pineapple Relish and shredded red cabbage. Do your best hula dance and enjoy.
• Bring the vinegar, sugar, crushed red pepper, salt and garlic to a boil and cook until the sugar and salt dissolve. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, and then set aside until the pork is ready. Right before you toss in the pork, remove the smashed garlic cloves.
• Preheat a grill pan or grill over high heat. Rub the grill with a bit of oil and grill each side of the pineapple slices until dark grill marks appear, 3 to 5 minutes a side. Roughly chop the pineapple and add it to a bowl with the cilantro, ginger, lime juice, jalapeno and onions. Season with salt and pepper.

PULLED-PORK SLIDERS

Steps:

• Allow pork to come to room temperature, about 2 hours. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cook bacon in a Dutch oven or other large ovenproof heavy pot over medium-low heat until fat is rendered and bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season pork generously with salt and pepper, and sear, skin side down, in pot until golden, about 5 minutes. Flip, and repeat.
• Return bacon to pot. Stir sugar, molasses, ketchup, and vinegar together, and add to pot. Add water to reach three-quarters up sides of pork. Cover pot, and bring to a simmer.
• Transfer to oven, and braise pork, basting every hour, until liquid is thick and syrupy and meat is falling off the bone, about 6 hours.
• Transfer pork to a rimmed baking sheet; let rest 20 minutes. Meanwhile, skim fat from braising liquid, and discard. Remove skin from pork, and discard. Shred meat, and return to pot with braising liquid. Serve on buns with pickles.
