1 Zwei Gabeln zum Zupfen
Rührschüsseln
1 Schneidebrett und Messer
1 Grillpfanne oder Toaster für die Buns
1 Mandoline oder Reibe für den Coleslaw
- 800 g Pork shoulder with bones or without
- 2 Tablespoon of olive oil
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon of cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 150 ml Apple juice or apple cider vinegar
- 150 ml BBQ sauce store-bought or homemade
FOR THE COLESLAW:
- ¼ White cabbage thinly sliced
- 1 carrot coarsely grated
- 3 tablespoon of mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoons of sugar
- Salt and white pepper
FOR THE JALAPEÑO MAYO:
- 4 tablespoon of mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoon of pickled jalapeños finely chopped
- 1 tbsp jalapeño sauce
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- Salt to taste
FOR THE BURGER:
- 2 Brioche-Buns
- 20 g Butter for toasting
PREPARATION:
Mix all the spices for the pulled pork to make a dry rub.
Pat the pork shoulder dry and rub the dry rub generously all over it.
Cover and marinate in the refrigerator overnight—or for at least 2 hours.
For the coleslaw, combine the cabbage and carrots with mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper, and let it sit for at least 1 hour.
For the jalapeño mayo, mix all the ingredients together and chill.
COOKING STEPS:
Preheat the oven to 150 °C (top and bottom heat).
Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof casserole dish over high heat and sear the pork shoulder on all sides until it develops a dark crust.
Pour in the apple juice, cover, and braise in the oven for 6–8 hours, until the meat falls apart when touched.
Remove the meat, let it cool slightly, and use two forks to pull it apart into coarse strands.
Skim the fat off the braising liquid, mix in the BBQ sauce, and toss the shredded meat in it.
Cut the brioche buns in half, brush them with butter, and toast them in a grill pan or toaster until golden brown.
SERVE:
Spread a generous amount of jalapeño mayo on the bottom half of the brioche.
Spoon the pulled pork over the top, topped with BBQ sauce.
Top with coleslaw.
Place the top half of the bun on top and press down gently.
Secure with a wooden skewer and serve immediately—pulled pork burgers won’t wait for anyone.
