Pulled pork sandwiches
Tender-fork braised pork meat is a popular pork recipe that can be used as a sandwich filling. Known as pulled pork, this preparation involves “tender, slow-cooked pork that is pulled apart into pieces and often prepared with a barbecue sauce,” according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, hence the name.
The meat cut used as pulled pork is Boston butt (also shoulder butt) or picnic shoulder, both of which come from the pork shoulder. To get the meat to be tender and savory, it can be braised in liquid, roasted in the overn for four hours, or cooked in a slow-cooker along with the sauce and spices.
The United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) fresh pork safe cooking chart suggests braising the boneless Boston butt (weighing about 3 to 6 pounds) for 2 to 2½ hours. Pulled pork can also come from the whole hog, slow-cooked for about 10 hours over a pit with live charcoal. Once done, the pork is so tender it can be pulled apart.
Pulled pork may be eaten as is or as a hearty sandwich filling complete with sauce. The Food Timeline further defines pulled pork: “Slow cooked pork (on grill or in oven) with moisture (water, bbq sauce) results in a product that can easily separate (pulls) into strings (sinews). Pork is then cut, sauced and served (generally) in sandwich form.”
Indeed, the best way to consume pulled pork is to make the pulled pork sandwich. The cooked meat is heaped on a bun and doused with a special barbecue sauce. The bread can be any of the following: Kaiser rolls, hamburger buns, potato rolls or dinner rolls.
In a Time Magazine on “A Brief History of Barbecue,” writer Claire Suddath mentions Memphis, Tennessee as being renowned for its pulled pork sandwich with a sweet tomato-based sauce. everythingpork.com/popular-pork/pulled-pork-sandwiches/
