Pulled pork sandwiches

January 27, 2010

Serves 4

4 large soft rolls or burger buns 1 cup leftover sauce from braised pork (without fruit), fat removed 1 cup barbecue sauce 1 tablespoon cider vinegar, or more to taste 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar Salt, to taste 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder or 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce (optional) 1/2 cooked pork shoulder 1.

Set the oven at 325 degrees. Wrap the rolls or buns in foil. Set them on an oven rack and heat for 10 minutes.

2. In a large saucepan, combine the braising sauce, barbecue sauce, cider vinegar, brown sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning and add more vinegar or salt, if you like. If the sauce seems too thick add a little water, 1 tablespoon at a time. If it needs more heat, add chipotle powder or hot sauce.

3. Meanwhile, pull apart or chop the pork into bite-size pieces, discarding any large chunks of fat.

4. Add the pork to the sauce and continue cooking for 5 minutes, stirring often, or until the pork is heated through.

5. Split the rolls or buns and set them on 4 plates. Add pork and sauce to each bun.
