Ingredients

For the Coleslaw:

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 14 ounce bag of coleslaw mix

For the Pulled Pork Sandwiches:

Instructions

Directions:

    For the Coleslaw:

    • Add the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar salt and pepper to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the coleslaw mix and toss well.  

    Assembling the Pulled Pork Sandwiches:

    • Using two forks, shred the warm pork shoulder and moisten with the drippings.
    •  Slather each side of the Brioche buns with the horseradish sauce. 
    • Add a half-cup of the coleslaw to the bottom of the bun, then heap a generous portion of the shredded pork over the coleslaw.
    • Add the top of the bun. Serve with tangy dill pickles and crunchy potato chips.

    Notes

    1. A bag of coleslaw mix will usually include a package of dressing which can be used rather than mixing your own.
    2. The pork will shred easier while still warm
    3. Pour drippings over shredded pork. This will add flavor and keep the pork moist.
    4. Use just enough of the drippings to moisten the pork
    5. Regular hamburger buns, Ciabatta rolls, Focaccia buns or Ciabatta roll are options for the Brioche buns
    6. Toasting or grilling the buns will crisp them and prevent sogginess.
