You Will Need (18 things)

  • For the Pork:

  • 1 kg Boneless Pork shoulder
  • Sea Salt flakes
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Sarsaparilla (or root beer)
  • ¼ cup - 1/2 cup Barbecue Sauce (Your favourite.)
  • 8 Soft Bread Rolls

  • For the Creamy Apple Slaw:

  • ¼ cup Mayonnaise
  • ½ cup Greek Yoghurt (I used goat's yoghurt)
  • 1 tbsp Spicy grain Mustard
  • Juice of half a Lemon
  • 1 Sea Salt flakes
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • ¼ Green Cabbage
  • 1 Large Carrot
  • 1 Red Apple (I used a Pink Lady)

Steps (3 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Make the Pork:
    Pour the oil into a large skillet and heat to medium-high.

    Season the pork generously with salt and pepper. Put the pork into the hot skillet and sear all sides until golden brown.

    Transfer the pork to the crockpot and pour in the sarsaparilla. Set to low and cook for 6 hours.

    Remove the pork from the crockpot and discard the liquid. Shred the meat with two forks and pour the barbecue sauce over and mix.

  2. 2

    Make the Creamy Apple Slaw:
    Get yourself a large salad bowl. Pour the mayonnaise, yoghurt, mustard, lemon juice and salt and pepper in it and give it a good whisk. Check the seasoning and adjust to taste.

    Finely shred the cabbage, carrot and apple and add them to the dressing in the bowl. Toss everything together, making sure the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwiches:
    Cut the bread rolls in half. Cover the bottoms with pulled pork and then some creamy slaw and top with their lids. Kick back and chow down.
