Pulled Pork Sliders With Brussels Sprouts Slaw Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Set the pork on a cutting board and score the fat in a crosshatch pattern, making the cuts about 3/4 inch deep and 1 inch apart. Make the rub: Combine the pimenton, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, celery salt, mustard powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl. Massage it into the meat.
• Place the pork in a roasting pan and pour the beer into the pan. Cover with foil and roast 3 hours. Check it periodically to make sure everything is going along just fine, and turn the roast over every hour.
• Remove the foil and continue roasting until the pork has reached an internal temperature of 190 degrees F, about 1 1/2 more hours. Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil and let rest 30 minutes.
• Sometime during the marathon cooking time, make the sauce: Combine the vinegar, garlic, chile, brown sugar, tomato paste, dijon mustard and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Taste it to make sure it is delicious; set aside. Remove the chile. When the sauce is cool, I recommend putting it in a squeeze bottle for easy use.
• Pull the pork into long shreds using 2 forks. Get rid of the fat and anything else that doesn't look delicious. Toss the pork with any residual pan juices and add salt to taste.
• Serve the pork on slider rolls with a drizzle of sauce; top with coleslaw.

Steps:

• Combine one 10-ounce bag shaved Brussels sprouts, 1 cup halved green grapes and 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans in a large bowl. Cook 2 chopped slices thick-cut bacon in a skillet with olive oil until crisp, about 5 minutes. Add 1 sliced shallot and cook until softened, 3 minutes. Stir in 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar and 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard. Pour over the Brussels sprouts; season with salt and pepper and toss.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the vinegar. When it begins to simmer, add the Brussels sprouts. Cook until the sprouts are just soft, about 5 minutes, then remove from the heat.
• In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, lemon juice, sugar, mustard, celery salt, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a dash of pepper. Whisk until blended and smooth. Add the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the pecans on a baking sheet in one layer and bake until golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop; set aside.
• Shred the Brussels sprouts using the large holes of a box grater or a mandoline. Coarsely chop any ungrated pieces with a knife.
• Combine the mayonnaise, mustard, honey, vegetable oil and orange zest in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Whisk in the vinegar and orange juice until smooth. Add the shaved Brussels sprouts and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and scatter the pecans and pomegranate seeds on top. Refrigerate 2 to 4 hours before serving.
