Pigskin Perfection
Carolina Style Pulled Pork and Vinegar Slaw Sandwich
I spent the last 48 hours pulling
together this little creation for this years Superbowl party.
The sandwich consists of pork shoulder, which has been lovingly smoked
over beer-soaked hickory
chips over low heat for 13 hours, then pulled apart by hand and tossed
with a peppery vinegar sauce.
The slaw is made of finely chopped cabbage, with just a little Walla
Walla onion and carrot, and tossed
with the same sauce as the pork, making a great crisp, fresh
counterpoint to the smoky pork.
While I have
added my own spin to things, the base recipe for this masterpiece can
be found on
pages 154-156 of Steven Raichlen's Barbecue
Bible , a Bonehand review of which can be found here.
Thanks to Scott & Traudl for the smoker, Golden Steer
in Bellevue for the pork shoulder, and to David
Hayward of Carolina Smoke for the
awesome last minute advice on overnight smoking.
