pulled pork


Posted by Picasa
there really is pork on this sandwich, i promise.   i had a huge pork shoulder in my freezer that i wanted to use this weekend, so i made pulled pork, with a bbq sandwich in mind.  i had defrosted the pork on thursday and on friday morning i put it in a dutch oven with some apple cider vinegar and water, and cooked it at 300 degrees for about 6 hours.  my, my how incredibly moist and tender the pork was.   i made a huge batch of bbq sauce that consisted of ketchup, mustard, apple cider vinegar, worchestershire, brown sugar, white sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.  it was delicious.  on saturday night we ate bbq sandwiches with dill pickles and fried green tomatoes.  i decided right then and there that i was opening up a lunch truck and serving these.  seriously, they were that good.  when i woke up sunday morning, i decided against the lunch truck idea,  but knew i was going to have another bbq sandwich for lunch.  i set off to the market early for green tomatoes.  i couldn't find them at any of the stores i went to, and lucy's market is closed on sunday's.   (that is where i picked up the green tomatoes earlier in the week).  so plan "b" brought me to topping my sandwich with coleslaw.  still very good, but not like the one with the green tomatoes on it.  i have a lot of bbq leftover, so you will be seeing another post shortly with a fried green tomato on it!
