Recipe: Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Spicy Coleslaw & Grilled Fries
For the Pork:
- Place the pork roast fat side up into a crockpot
- The fat will cook it's way through the pork to keep it moist
- Pour 2 cups of water or broth and what seasonings you have on hand
- Seasonings, fruit juice, wine, beer or even pop are great for flavor!
- Let cook on low for 8 hours
- Shred & add the bottle of BBQ Sauce let simmer until ready to eat
- 1 small head of cabbage, shredded
- 2 whole carrots, shredded
- 1 bunch of Cilantro, rough chopped
- 1/4 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 Tbs. of your favorite hot sauce
- 1 tsp. of Salt
- 1/2 tsp. of Black Pepper
- Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl, cover and let chill until ready to serve.
- (the coleslaw is better the longer it sits. I recommend you make it the night before so it can marinate.)
Grilled Fries:
I like to make these on the BBQ but the oven would work also!
I like to make these on the BBQ but the oven would work also!
- Drizzle Olive Oil or use non-stick cooking spray on a cookie sheet and place on BBQ to heat.
- Meanwhile, Cut potatoes into fries at whatever thickness you want, place on hot cookie sheet and sprinkle with seasoning of choice
- (I like to use Garlic Salt).
- You will want to flip the fries over half way through cooking so both side get crispy.
- Grill until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
