Ingredients
Cole Slaw:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup shredded green cabbage
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 3 scallions, white and green parts, chopped
Bourbon BBQ Pork:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 cups good quality barbecue sauce
- 1/2 cup bourbon
- 2 cups pulled Simple Roasted Pork Shoulder, recipe follows
- Favorite sandwich bread or rolls
Directions
For the cole slaw: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar and hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper and add the cabbages and scallions. Toss well to distribute the mayonnaise thoroughly.
For the pork: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil and garlic. When the garlic becomes fragrant, add the barbecue sauce and bourbon. Add the pork to the barbecue sauce and stir well to combine. Simmer about 10 minutes.
To serve: Place the pork on the bread and top with the coleslaw. Drizzle with some extra sauce and serve immediately.
Simple Roasted Pork Shoulder:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons chopped garlic
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (4 pound) pork shoulder
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Using a pastry brush, spread the mixture all over the pork shoulder.
Set the meat on a rack set into a roasting pan. Roast for 20 minutes, and then reduce the heat to 325 degrees F. Continue to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the shoulder reads 185 degrees F, about 4 hours. Remove the pork from the oven and let stand until cool enough to handle, about 30 minutes.

This sandwich was delicious!! The pulled pork was easy and so tender and our favorite part was tearing off the crispy parts on the outside. I really like the tangy coleslaw inside the sandwich too... it worked well with the sweetness of the BBQ sauce.
The only change I made is leaving out the Bourbon from the BBQ sauce since we don't care for alcohol.
I made this for a superbowl party and it was a big hit, Thanks Big Daddy!

Pork was delicious, I used Makers Mark bourbon for the sauce and it over powered the BBQ flavor. I would use less bourbon if I tried the sauce recipe again...could have been at risk for a DUI with his one.

This recipe was delicious and so easy. I did not follow the slaw portion of the recipe because I had made my own the day before, but the pork and bbq sauce recipe turned out delicious. My family really enjoyed it and the leftovers are even better!
