Spicy Pork Po Boys Recipes

BITE-SIZE PULLED PORK PO' BOYS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Rinse and pat dry the pork butt. In a small bowl mix together all of the ingredients for the spice rub. Coat the pork completely with the spice mixture and rub it into meat. Put the roast into a roasting pan or a high sided casserole dish with a lid. Pour enough chicken stock into the pan to come about 1/2-inch up the sides. Cover the pan tightly with foil or lid and put in the oven. Roast the pork until meat is completely tender and pulls apart very easily, about 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before shredding the pork from the bone.
• For the Slaw: While the pork is roasting combine the cabbage with the carrots and onion in a large bowl. In small bowl whisk together the remaining ingredients. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight. Season with more salt and pepper, to taste, before serving.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Slice the dinner rolls in half and put on a sheet pan to warm in a low oven. When ready to assemble the po' boys, put some shredded pork on bottom of each roll, top with some BBQ sauce and finish with a heaping spoonful of the slaw. Cover with the roll tops and serve immediately.

SPICY PORK PO BOYS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan. In a large bowl, using your hands, mix the ground pork with the paprika, thyme, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Form the pork into twelve 1/2-inch-thick patties. Grill the pork patties over moderate heat, turning once, until they are cooked through, about 8 minutes total.
• Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise with the Dijon mustard, pickles and shallot and season with salt and pepper. Spread the mayonnaise on both sides of the baguettes.
• Place 3 pork patties on the bottom of each baguette and top with the lettuce, tomato and a few splashes of hot sauce. Close the sandwiches and serve.
