Pulled Pork Sliders

post-title

In these pulled pork sliders, we combine the smoky heat of chipotle peppers with a cool tropical coleslaw and soft Hawaiian buns. You can slow-cook a pork shoulder from scratch or use leftover pork

Ingredients

  • 1 large onion, quartered
  • 1 boneless pork shoulder butt roast (3 to 4 pounds)
  • 2 finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce plus 3 tablespoons sauce
  • 3/4 cup honey barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups finely chopped red cabbage
  • 1 medium mango, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup pineapple tidbits, drained
  • 3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 20 hawaiian sweet rolls, split and toasted

Directions

  1. Place onion in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Cut roast in half; place over onion. In a small bowl, combine chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, barbecue sauce, water, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper; pour over meat. Cook, covered, on low 8-10 hours or until meat is tender.
  2. Remove roast; discard onions. Cool slightly; skim fat from cooking juices. Shred pork with 2 forks. Return pork to slow cooker; heat through.
  3. For coleslaw, in a large bowl, combine cabbage, mango, pineapple, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Place 1/4 cup pork mixture on each roll bottom; top with 2 tablespoons coleslaw. Replace tops.
