These pulled pork sandwiches are a savory delight, featuring tender, shredded pork shoulder cooked to perfection and served on a soft bun. Topped with a zesty homemade barbecue sauce and crunchy coleslaw, they make for a satisfying high-protein American dinner.

Ingredients

• Pork shoulder - 500 grams
• Paprika - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Apple cider vinegar - 60 ml
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• BBQ sauce - 120 ml
• Hamburger buns - 2
• Coleslaw mix - 100 grams
• Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons
• Apple cider vinegar (for coleslaw) - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
2. In a bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork shoulder.
3. Place the pork shoulder in a roasting pan and pour apple cider vinegar over it. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.
4. Roast the pork in the preheated oven for about 4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
5. While the pork is cooking, prepare the coleslaw by mixing coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, and apple cider vinegar in a bowl. Set aside.
6. Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Then shred the meat using two forks.
7. Mix the shredded pork with BBQ sauce until well coated.
8. To assemble the sandwiches, place a generous portion of the pulled pork on the bottom half of each hamburger bun, followed by a scoop of coleslaw. Top with the other half of the bun.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your pulled pork sandwiches!
