Dutch Oven Pulled Pork Sandwiches Recipes

QUICK PULLED PORK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, cinnamon and cayenne and cook until toasted, 1 minute more. Stir in the chicken broth, ketchup, molasses and 1/3 cup of the vinegar. Bring to a simmer and add the pork. Simmer, covered, until the pork is just cooked through and tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk the mustard with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and 1 tablespoon vinegar in a large bowl. Add the broccoli slaw and toss well. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Remove the pork to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes. Increase the heat under the Dutch oven to medium high and cook the sauce until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Shred the pork with 2 forks into large chunks and return to the thickened sauce. Toss well to coat and simmer 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, to let the pork absorb the sauce. Serve on the buns with the slaw on the sandwiches or on the side.

OVEN PULLED PORK

Steps:

• Sprinkle the rub generously all over the pork brisket, patting it as you go to make the rub stick to the pork. Cover and marinate overnight, or 8 hours.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 450 F. Choose an oven safe pot that's close to the size of the pork brisket (neither too big nor too small). The pot should have a lid, but you will not need it for the first step of cooking. Gently place the marinated pork brisket in the pot with the fattiest side on top. Leave the pot uncovered.
• Roast, uncovered, for 15 minutes at 450 F. While roasting, add the tomato paste to a bowl. Whisk in the water until you have a smooth liquid.
• Remove the pot from the oven and carefully pour the liquid into the bottom of the pot. Cover the pot with its lid and return the pot to the oven. Turn the oven temperature down to 300 F.
• Cook at 300 F for about 4 hours, or until the pork falls apart easily when tugged with a fork. (4 hours is the typical minimum time; if your roast is larger or is not boneless, just keep on cooking it until it becomes fall-apart tender.)

• Preheat the oven to 300°. Put the pork in a roasting pan and bake for about 6 hoursuntil the inside temperature reaches 170° and the roast is falling apart.
• Meanwhile, for barbecue sauce, combine the vinegar, mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, salt, cayenne, and pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer gently, stirring, for 10 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
• Allow the meat to rest for about 10 minutes after removing from oven. While still warm, take 2 forks and "pull" the meat to form shreds.
• Place the shredded pork in a bowl and pour 1/2 of the sauce on the shredded pork and mix well to coat.

• Note: The above is Tyler Florence's actual recipe, but when I make it I make a few changes. It does not specify, but cover the roasting pan before putting in the oven. Also, pour a little water in the bottom of the roasting pan and check periodically to make sure it does not dry up completely. I found the drippings in the bottom of the pan burned if I didn't do this.
• Note: For the sauce, I use 1C each of cider vinegar, mustard and ketchup as well as 1/2 C brown sugar and 1/2 t cayenne. I use all of the sauce to mix in the meat. I don't think half is enough. If you want more sauce on the side, I would suggest making more.
