One of the many food blogs I read is Simply Recipes. Day after day, Elise posts great recipes that I want to cook. The other day she posted the super easy recipe for Braised BBQ Beef Sandwiches, and I had to make them, because I love all fall apart meat.
I followed her recipe almost exactly, except adding 6 or so cloves of garlic. I also made some changes in the procedure, but you know, I’ve never been one for following directions.
BBQ Pork Sandwich with Coleslaw and Homemade Baked Chips.
This is so easy, it takes a long time, but it is easy.
Cut a pork shoulder into chunks, it doesn’t matter what size really. I cut them about 1 inch by 3 inches. Place them in a very wide pan and cover with water. I also added about a half of a chopped onion and a couple teaspoons of salt.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer for an hour.
After simmering, take off lid and bring back to a full boil. Boil off the liquid. When it gets down to where the pork is starting to fry a little (most of the water gone), drain off the remaining liquid.
Here’s the tricky part. Go to your fridge, grab a bottle of barbecue sauce and dump about half in. Simmer on low for about 5 minutes and break apart the pork.
Serve on buns with coleslaw.
