Slow Cooker Pork Loin Pulled Pork Sandwiches
This recipe makes for great summertime entertaining as your work in the kitchen will be long done before the guests arrive and all you have to do is put together the sandwiches at the last minute!
Yield: 6-8 generous servings
Ingredients:
3-4 pound boneless pork loin roast
1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup brandy
2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 heaping tablespoon fresh ground ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced.
Salt
Pepper
3/4 cup plum preserves
1 recipe coleslaw for serving
6-8 soft buns
Directions:
1) Heat oil in a sauté pan and sear roast on all sides until a rich brown color.
2) Put browned pork in the crock pot.
3) Mix all ingredients, except for plum preserves and pour over roast.
4) Cover and cook on low setting for 7 to 9 hours until pork is tender.
5) Remove pork from slow cooker. Allow to stand for a few minutes then shred with two forks.
6) Skim the fat from the pork juices. I find an ice cube wrapped in cheese cloth works well.
7) Add preserves into juices and warm until melted.
8) Add shredded pork back into juices in crock pot.
9) Using soft while buns, make the pork sandwiches. I often use ciabatta buns. Top the pork with coleslaw.
