Pull Apart Pork Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F for 15 minutes.
• Coat roasting pan in non-stick spray (optional - it helps in removing the roast).
• Put 1/3 can of pork (or chicken) base into the bottom of the pan.
• Add hard cider to the pan.
• Lightly Coat pork roast in dry rub, saving about 1 tbsp for later. Choose your favorite. I used a rub called "Butt Rub", made specifically for pork.
• Place roast in pan and drench with another 1/3 can of broth - discard the rest.
• Chop celery and carrots into 1" long chunks (carrots may need to be halved) and add around the sides of the roast.
• Chop green onions into 1/2" bits, and sprinkle around the outside of the roast, over the other veggies.
• Reduce oven heat to 200 degrees.
• Cover roast with aluminum foil.
• Place roast in oven, and roast for 90 minutes.
• After 90 minutes, baste roast, and add minced garlic, onion powder and half of the remaining dry rub to the top of the roast.
• Re-cover roast and place back in the oven for another 90 minutes.
• After the second 90 minutes, re-baste roast and remove foil.
• Sprinkle the remaining dry rub and paprika on top of the roast.
• Roast uncovered for another 30-45 minutes or until internal temperature is 170 degrees F.
• Remove roast from the oven, and slice thick. Serve veggies from the roast on the side.

Steps:

• Place meat into large baking pan.
• Place all ingredients into baking pan.
• Cover and bake in oven at 250 degrees for 8 hours.
• Pull apart meat and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the rack slightly below the center of the oven.
• Place the pork in a casserole that is just large enough to hold it and has a lid.
• Sprinkle the roast on all sides with worcestershire sauce. Then press brown sugar coating on all sides of the pork. Pour the apple juice down the side of the casserole to the bottom, being sure not to drizzle it on the crusted meat. Cover tightly.
• Place the roast in the oven and immediately turn the heat down to 200°F (95°C).
• Roast without opening the oven door for about 5 hours, until the meat is so tender that it pulls apart easily. If the meat does not pull apart easily, cover, and return to the oven and roast 30 minutes more. Check again, roast 30 minutes more as needed.
• Pull the meat apart and remove the bone. Stir the salt into the juices at the bottom of the pan. Serve meat in its delicious juice hot or at room temperature.
• Note: This can easily be done in a slow cooker. Set it on high for 30 minutes, then turn down the heat to low, and let it cook for most of the day or even overnight.
• You can also pour off most of the juice if preffered and stir in your favorite bbq sauce after shredding. Heat through in pot on the stove over medium-low heat.
• This should make about 12 sandwiches.

Steps:

• Mix the paprika, garlic power, brown sugar, dry mustard, and salt together in a small bowl. Rub the spice blend all over the pork. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Put the pork in a roasting pan and roast it for about 6 hours. An instant-read thermometer stuck into the thickest part of the pork should register 170 degrees F, but basically, what you want to do is to roast it until it's falling apart.
• While the pork is roasting, make the barbecue sauce. Combine the vinegar, mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, salt, cayenne, and black pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer gently, stirring, for 10 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Take it off the heat and let it sit until you're ready for it.
• When the pork is done, take it out of the oven and put it on a large platter. Allow the meat to rest for about 10 minutes. While it's resting, deglaze the pan over medium heat with 3/4 cup water, scraping with a wooden spoon to pick up all of the browned bits. Reduce by about half. Pour that into the saucepan with the sauce and cook 5 minutes.
• While the pork is still warm, you want to "pull" the meat: Grab 2 forks. Using 1 to steady the meat, use the other to "pull" shreds of meat off the roast. Put the shredded pork in a bowl and pour half of the sauce over. Stir it all up well so that the pork is coated with the sauce.
• To serve, spoon the pulled pork mixture onto the bottom half of each hamburger bun, and top with some slaw. Serve with pickle spears and the remaining sauce on the side.
• Combine the cabbage, carrots, red onion, green onions, and chile in a large bowl. In another bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, and sugar. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss gently to mix. Season the cole slaw with the celery seed, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Chill for 2 hours in the refrigerator before serving.

Steps:

• Whisk together the chile powder, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar in a small bowl until completely combined and no lumps remain. Spread the spice rub evenly over the pork butt, pressing it into the flesh on all sides. Let the pork sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour or wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 48 hours.
• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 275 degrees F.
• Whisk together the barbecue sauce, apple cider, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar in large Dutch oven or other heavy large pot until combined. Transfer the pork and any accumulated juices to the pot, turning the pork to coat it with sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat. Then cover, transfer to the oven and bake until the pork is very tender and easily shreds when pulled apart with a fork, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Let the pork cool uncovered for 30 minutes.
• Reserve 1 cup of the sauce for serving, then smash the pork into the remaining sauce with a potato masher; it should fall apart and shred completely. Stir to combine the pork with the sauce. Serve on toasted potato rolls topped with coleslaw. Pass the reserved sauce.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan, and fry the meatballs for about 8-10 mins, or until browned and cooked through. Set aside. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Carefully split the whole batch of rolls through the middle, ensuring they remain attached at their sides. Lay the bottoms of the rolls in a roasting tin lined with a sheet of scrunched-up baking parchment or foil. Spread the tomato sauce over, then place one meatball on every roll. Sprinkle over the mozzarella, then cover with the tops of the rolls, pressing down gently.
• Brush with the melted butter, then sprinkle over the oregano and parmesan. Cover with foil and bake for 20 mins, uncovering for the final 5 mins so the tops become golden.

Steps:

• Mix and combine dry ingredients.
• Rub the pork rib on all sides with dry mixture, let it sit for 15 minutes.
• In the meantime, heat an uncovered deep roasting pan (just a little bit bigger than the rib roast) in the oven preheated to 250°C
• Rub the meat with olive oil, place in a hot pan and bake, uncovered, for about 30 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms. Remove from the oven and from the baking pan, and reduce oven temperature to 150°C.
• Spread apple and onion slices on the bottom of the pan, add cider.
• Place the rib roast on apples and onions, tightly cover with a lid and bake for about 2 hours. Check, once or twice that there is enough liquid to prevent apples and onions from burning.
• When done, let the rib roast rest for 15 minutes, then gently pull apart with a fork (or fingers) from the bone and serve with the apple and onion sauce and mashed potatoes.

Steps:

• Up to two days before (and at least 2 hrs ahead), mix together 75g ketchup with 2 tbsp chipotle, 2 tbsp honey and the vinegar. Rub all over the pork and leave in a food bag (or bowl) in the fridge to marinate, turning occasionally.
• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Lift the pork into a snug-fitting roasting tin and baste with any excess marinade, plus 100ml water. Cover with foil, ensuring the pork is sealed in but the foil isn't touching it, and bake for 4 hrs.
• Turn up the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 (or cool and chill the pork, if making ahead). Remove the foil and put the pork back in for 30 mins until crisp and sticky on the outside.
• Lift the pork from the tin and use two forks to shred the meat. Mix together the extra 1 tbsp ketchup with the remaining chipotle and honey, and stir it through the shredded meat with some seasoning before serving.

Steps:

• Toss together the onion powder, parsley, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, seasoned salt, 1 1/2 tablespoons black pepper, marjoram, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large, resealable plastic bag. Add the cubed pork, toss until well coated, then seal, and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line a 9x9 inch baking dish with half of the spinach leaves.
• Pack the marinated pork into the baking dish, and cover with the remaining spinach leaves. Cover the pan with aluminum foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours, or until the pork is tender.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring frequently until the flour has toasted. Scrape into a heatproof dish, and set aside. Melt the butter in the pot, and stir in the onions and celery. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms, and cook until tender; stir the flour mixture back into the pot to coat the vegetables.
• Pour in the beef broth, stewed tomatoes, cooked pork and spinach, bay leaves, red pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Simmer 1 1/2 hours.
• Stir in the butter beans, yellow squash, and zucchini. Simmer 30 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat add chops and brown all over.
• Arrange chops in a 13" x 9" baking dish.
• Add mushrooms to drippings in the skillet and cook over medium-high heat without stirring for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir in garlic, salt, oregano, basil and pepper.
• Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir to moisten.
• Pour in wine and bring to a boil.
• Add cream and chicken broth, simmer, stirring, to thicken.
• Pour over chops.
• Cover tightly with a double layer of foil.
• Bake at 350 for 2 to 2 1/2 hours until pork chops are fork tender.
