Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Apple BBQ Sauce |
Begin by dry rubbing a 5 to 6 pound pork shoulder roast with a mixture of
- ½ tsp powdered ginger
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dry thyme
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp dry oregano
- 1 ½ tbsp kosher salt
Rub all over the surface of the roast, cover and let sit in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
Heat 4 tbsp oil in a large heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat and brown the roast on all sides. Transfer the roast to a covered roasting pan. To the roasting pan, along with the roast, add:
- 1 medium sized onion chopped
- 4 medium sized firm apples peeled and chunked
Meanwhile mix together in a medium size bowl:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup molasses
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup apple juice
- 1 tsp powdered ginger
- 1 tsp Chinese five spice powder
Pour all over the roast, apples and onions in the roasting pan. Cover with aluminum foil then the lid of the roasting pan. Roast in a 300 degree oven for several hours ( approximately 4-5) until the meat is very tender and falling off the bone.
Remove the braising liquid to a saucepan, skim all the excess fat and reduce the liquid until it slightly thickens. At this point you can puree the sauce with an immersion blender or in a food processor to smooth it out and incorporate the cooked onions and apples. Serve over the pulled pork.
