North Carolina Style Pulled Pork Sandwiches And Coleslaw Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Mix together the salt, pepper, and paprika; sprinkle all over the pork and rub inches
• In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a 24-inch-long sheet of heavy duty foil and double wrap the pork.
• Place the pork, skin side up, in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; roast until tender, about 4 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and carefully unwrap the top of the pork, revealing the skin. Increase the heat to 450 degrees and roast for 20 minutes more.
• Transfer the roast to a large bowl, along with any juices. Using two forks, shred the pork. Add the vinegars, sugar, and hot sauce; toss. Serve on the hamburger buns, topped with coleslaw (recipe follows), if using.
• For the coleslaw: In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegars, sugar, hot sauce, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper. Add the cabbage and toss. Let stand for 30 minutes, then toss and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Place pork roast in a dutch oven. Pour BBQ sauce and Coke over roast. Cover with a tightly fitting lid. Wrap entire pan with aluminum foil to ensure a tight fit. Cook at 320 degrees for 4-4 1/2hrs. After 4 1/2hrs remove from oven and check to see if meat falls apart easily; if not, raise temp to 350 degrees and return to oven for another 30-40 mintues. Remove from oven and remove roast from juices. Pull meat apart slowly removing visible fat. Shred meat. You can spearate meat at this point if wanted into two groups (this is what I do); in one group add some of the juices that the meat was cooked in for a sweeter pork sandwich; in the other group leave the meat as is and serve with the Lexington-style coleslaw for a true North Carolina BBQ sandwich.
• 2. LEXINGTON-STYLE BBQ SAUCE: Combine the cider vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, sugar, kosher salt, white pepper, red pepper and black pepper in a medium, nonreactive bowl. Let stand at least 10 minutes, stirring occationally. Can be made up to 1 week ahead and stored in the refigerator.
• 3. NORTH CAROLINA COLESLAW: Combine the coleslaw mix and 3/4 cup of the Lexington-style BBQ sauce in medium bowl. Refrigerate, covered 2 hr or overnight.
• 4. TO ASSEMBLE: To hamburger buns layer pulled pork (piled high)then North Carolina coleslaw. You may add a little more of the Lexington-style BBQ on top for an extra kick if wanted.
