Pulled Pork Sandwich Recipe
by Lee Griffith

Description: Try this delicious barbeque-flavored pulled pork recipe for a great family meal.

I concocted this a couple of weeks ago. Unlike the eastern North Carolina style pulled pork recipe, which does not include tomatoes or tomato ketchup in the sauce, this one is with a traditional style BBQ sauce (which includes tomato ketchup). I love both styles. I love doing pulled pork with this way, because you just roast it in your kitchen oven--and the layers of flavor provided by the spice rub give it a real barbeque flavor.

Ingredients:

1 pork butt roast (about 4 lbs.)
2 tbsp. canola oil
1/4 cup water
10 to 12 hamburger buns

For the Rub:

2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. paprika
2 tbsp. chili powder
1 tbsp. ground cumin
1 tbsp. kosher salt
1 tbsp. coarsely ground black pepper
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. celery seed
1/2 tsp. ground mace

For the Sauce:

1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. yellow mustard
2 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. Louisiana hot pepper sauce

Instructions:

In a bowl or container, mix all of the rub ingredients together. Cut off excess fat from meat. Rub the meat with a generous amount of rub--make sure you rub into all the nooks and crannies. Cover remaining rub and keep (for up to about 6 weeks) in a cool, dry, dark place. (You should have enough rub left for at least one more roast.) Wrap the meat in a double layer of aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Position oven rack to center and preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a heavy oven-proof pot or skillet, heat the vegetable oil on stove over medium heat. Add the meat and brown on all sides. Add the 1/4 cup of water and cover the meat tightly with either a lid or aluminum foil. Place in oven and bake for about 3 to 3&1/2 hours, or until meat can be shredded easily with a fork.

About an hour before the meat is done, put all the ingredients for the sauce, except the bell peppers, onion and butter, in a small sauce pan. Blend together well, bring to boil over medium heat, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring often. In another sauce pan, heat the butter over low heat and add the bell peppers and onions. Saute, stirring often, until onion and peppers are tender. Then add them to the sauce that is simmering.

Remove meat from oven and allow to stand (covered) for 10 minutes. With a fork, shred the meat into strings. Serve the meat on hamburger buns, and top with the sauce. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
