Brilliant braised pulled pork sandwich recipe Posted on 3 November 2021 It’s summertime and that means easy, tasty food perfect for eating outdoors. Loxtonia apple-infused cider is not only giving us refreshing summer drinks, but also a yummy recipe for Braised Pulled Pork Sandwiches & Apple Slaw. Ingredients: For the pork: ± 1,2 – 1,5kg pork shoulder, bone in 2 Tbsp of olive oil 1 Tbsp of Spicy Mexican Style Taco Spice 1 tsp of mustard powder Salt and pepper to taste 2 brown onions, sliced 340ml / 1 bottle Loxtonia Pale Amber Cider 250ml / 1 cup of good quality BBQ sauce To serve: 8 soft brioche-style hamburger buns Softened butter, for toasting 4 Tbsp of tangy mayonnaise 8 large dill pickles, sliced 2 cups of fresh coleslaw 2 pink lady apples, sliced into thin matchsticks Juice of 1 lime Sweet potato fries to serve Method: Rub the pork with olive oil and season well with the spices, salt and pepper. Sear the pork in a heavy based cast iron pot / Dutch oven until golden brown all over. Add the onion, Loxtonia Pale Amber Cider and BBQ sauce. You can cook the pork several ways: 1. Cover and cook in a 135˚C oven for ± 3½ hours until tender. 2. Pressure cook on high pressure for 1½ hours. Natural release. 3. Place in a slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours. Once the pork is very tender, transfer the meat to a clean bowl. Shred with 2 forks, discarding any excess fatty bits and the bone. Strain the onion out of the cooking liquid, place the liquid back on the heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce by half until you have a thick sauce that coats the back of a spoon. Pour enough reduced cooking liquid over the pulled pork until super juicy. Mix well. To assemble the sandwiches: Combine the coleslaw and apple. Season with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Toss. Spread a little softened butter onto the sliced buns and toast until deeply golden brown. Top the toasted buns with a little swish of mayo, a generous pile of pulled pork and the apple slaw. Finish with some sliced pickles and the top bun. Serve with crispy sweet potato fries on the side and enjoy with a cold Loxtonia Pale Amber Cider.
