ingredients

Pulled Pork
  • 3-4 lb pork shoulder trimmed and cut into large chunks
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 Tbsp cayenne
  • 1 Tbsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp pepper
  • 1 Tbsp paprika
  • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 12 King’s Hawaiian Rolls cut in half and toasted
  • Optional: 1/3 cup of your favorite citrus barbecue sauce
Mango Coleslaw
  • 1 14 oz package of coleslaw
  • 1 mango peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tsp Sriracha
  • Juice of 1 lime

instructions

  • Combine the pork shoulder pieces, onion, pineapple juice, water, cayenne, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and brown sugar in a pressure cooker or the bowl of a slow cooker. Stir to combine. If you are using a pressure cooker, cook the pork for 80 minutes. If you are using a slow cooker, cook for 4 to 6 hours on high, until the meat is falling apart.
  • In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the mango slaw, stirring to ensure everything is coated evenly. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • When the meat is done, remove the chunks to a cutting board and shred using two forks. If you choose to use a citrus barbecue sauce, add the meat to a bowl and stir in the sauce before assembling.
  • To assemble the sliders, top the bottom halves of the rolls with a 2 to 3 heaping tablespoons on the pulled pork. Top with about 1 tablespoon of the mango coleslaw and top each with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately.
