Ingredients
Pulled Pork:
5 pounds boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons Miss Brown’s House Seasoning, recipe follows
2 large yellow onions, cut into quarters
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup apple cider
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
24 pretzel slider buns, buttered and toasted
Apple Slaw:
2 cups shredded green cabbage
2 cups shredded red cabbage
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup shredded Tuscan kale
2 Gala apples, cut into matchsticks
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Miss Brown’s House Seasoning:
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- For the pulled pork: Coat the pork shoulder with the Dijon mustard and sprinkle with the House Seasoning. Place the quartered onions in the bottom of a Dutch oven, then set the pork shoulder on top. Pour in the chicken broth and apple cider. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, then transfer the Dutch oven to the oven and bake until the pork is tender and falls apart, about 7 hours.
- For the apple slaw: Combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, kale and apples in a large bowl. Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Remove the pork from the Dutch oven, reserving the braising liquid in the pan. Bring the braising liquid to a boil, then reduce the liquid by half. Season with salt and pepper.
- Shred the pork and return it to the braising liquid, tossing to coat. Spoon the pork evenly on the bottoms of the buns. Top with the slaw and bun tops.
