Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds pork shoulder, bone in
- 1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 dinner rolls, whole wheat
- 1 head red cabbage, shredded
- 2 carrots, shredded
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- Put pork, vinegar, red pepper, black pepper, and salt in the slow cooker and turn the heat to medium. Cook, undisturbed, for 8 hours or until it is fork-tender (about 190 degrees with a meat thermometer).
- Remove the pork from the slow cooker and place in a large bowl (keep the liquid). While still hot, use two forks to shred the meat. Remove any fat found between the shreds.
- Skim as much fat as possible from the liquid in the slow cooker. Add about 1 cup of the cooking liquid to the shredded pork.
- Put the shredded cabbage and carrots in a separate bowl.
- Mix the canola oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl and stir or whisk well.
- Add the dressing to the cabbage mixture and coat thoroughly.
- Add 1/2 cup of pulled pork to each roll or bun and top with 1/2 cup cabbage and carrot slaw. Serve right away.
Recipe Tips
