Slow Braised Pulled Pork Sandwiches

This is a continuation of a dish that we started preparing last night along with the Lemon Pepper Chicken Breast Salad we made. After slow braising the pork roast for 4 hours, we took it out and refrigerated it over night. This allows all the flavors from the chicken broth and onions and spices come together and really adds a lot of flavor.



Tonight we took out our roasted pork and began to sauce it and allow the flavors to soak in for another hour on a low simmer while we prepared the garlic bread and potato wedges. After separating the pork with two forks, we let the pulled pork soak in a mixture of KC Masterpiece and Stubbs Pork Marinade and just a little bit of Ketchup to cut the heat a bit and add some sweetness.





Yesterday afternoon we picked up some sourdough baguettes from Nugget market (for those back east, they're kind of like Whole Foods) to use for our pulled pork sandwiches this evening. We cut them, smeared them with a nice butter and chopped garlic mix, (Mikie and I added some roasted pepper garlic seasoning to our portions).




We then broiled the garlic bread for 7 minutes until golden brown (soft on the inside, crunchy outside is what you're going for). We also cut up some potato wedges, seasoned with garlic, salt, pepper, and I snuck in a little bacon salt on the fries too.





We cooked them for 35 minutes at 400 degrees until cooked but still soft. It's very easy to overcook these if you're not careful. I like my potatoes nice and soft but still fully cooked. The longer you leave them in the more crispy they will become but it's so damn easy to overcook them we err on the side of caution sometimes.




The end result was a very tasty meal for four that we all enjoyed. I can honestly say that our sourdough garlic bread pulled pork sandwich was one of the tastiest ones that I've ever eaten. I like a pickle with my pulled pork sandwich. Kosher Dills are my favorite.





There is one alas, that puts my own invention to shame and that is Cubbys Pulled Pork Sandwich in Hackensack, NJ. If you live in the area, I suggest you try it for yourselves. They have old school Birch Beer and Sweet Potato Fries. It's unbelievable. Cubby's BBQ: http://www.cubbysbarbeque.com/
