One of
my sister's (and her husbands) absolutely favourite things that she
tried during her year in Canada was a Pulled Pork Sandwich! I have to
say I can't blame her as you can't go wrong with the combination of
succulent slowly cooked pork shredded into pieces then mixed with a
delicious tangy barbecue sauce. Add it to a roll then top with some
crunchy coleslaw and you have the most amazing meal!
Since
she loves it so much I had to include it in our Harry Potter Grand Feast for her Hen Party which was a feast made up of some of her
favourite dishes along with some slightly more whimsical HP inspired
dishes (which will follow over the next few weeks!). For the party I
made individual small rolls rather than the full ones pictured here
as there was so much other food, it seemed right to keep things
bite-sized!
The
inspiration for this recipe came from Verses from my Kitchen which in
turn came from Trish Magwood's book “My Mother's Kitchen”. I
changed a few things to better suit our tastes and toned down the
spice a little for Wee One (feel free to up it if you prefer more of
a kick) and I love how it tastes. I also cook mine in the oven since
I don't have a slow cooker but you could easily cook it in a slow
cooker if you have one. Either way you will end up with the juiciest
most succulent pork that is impossible not to pick away at as you are
getting everything together!! The recipe for the sauce makes more
than you will need but since I like a lot of sauce I tend to just
serve some extra on the side for those that want it. Final note: for
a crowd double the recipe for the pork but keep the sauce the same –
you just won't have any extra!
