Pulled Pork Sandwich
This is a recipe I modified from a Crock Pot cookbook I received for my birthday. My crock pot by the way, was a hand-me-down from my Mom when I went off to college 30 (not kidding!) years ago.
Ingredients:
- Pork shoulder about 3lbs
- Barbeque sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray's regular sauce)
- Lemon juice, 1 tablespoon
- Onion
- Garlic
- Spices (chili powder, red pepper, etc)
- Hamburger buns
- Avocado
- Cheese
Cooking:
- Put the pork in the crock pot on low, you can season the meat with salt and pepper, and toss some minced garlic on top.
- Cook on low for about 5-6 hours.
- Remove pork and pull apart with a fork. Separate and remove as much fat as you can.
- Put back in crock pot, add about 1/2 bottle barbeque sauce, one diced onion, lemon juice, and some spices of your choice (chili powder, red pepper, etc, just a to taste).
- Cook on high about 1 hour.
- Serve on toasted bun w/avocado and melted cheese.
Notes:
- Try to find the leanest pork shoulder! A fatty piece of meat will be a mess when you pull it apart. You will have to throw away all the fat.
- The whole wheat buns from Whole Foods are excellent for this.
- Goes great with salad, tossed with gorgonzola cheese.
