Braised Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Kale Slaw is fall-apart tender,  juicy, and packed with flavor from the perfect seasoning! This tender pork is paired with crunchy slaw, tangy bbq sauce, and sits on a soft bun.

Braised Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Kale Slaw

This is one of our go-to family meals. As well, it’s great for large crowds, game day, Memorial Day, or Independence Day, or Labor Day parties. Everyone needs pulled pork in their life in the summer.

Braised pork is surprisingly simple to make but with an explosive multi-dimensional flavor. I used a Boston butt (also known as pork shoulder) and seasoned it extra heavy. The combination of smoky, tangy, and a little heat is arguably one of the best homemade Boston butt recipes out there.

Of course the most popular way in the South to make pulled pork is to smoke it. I shared Smokin’ Butts in this post with all my tips and tricks on how to smoke. You can also make this in the slow cooker. I shared Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Tacos recently. You can use those times for this recipe if you want to cook it in the slow cooker instead of the oven.

Pulled pork is so versatile. You can eat it on buns, flour tortillas, or in quesadillas. Then there’s my favorite over tortillas chips or fries. I just adore pulled pork nachos with lots of cheese and barbeque sauce!

Pork Shoulder usually goes on sale around the summer holidays especially Memorial Day. I stock up and freeze them for summer entertaining.

  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Pork

  • Preheat the Dutch oven to 325°F.
  • Trim the fat off the pork shoulder.
  • Combine the brown sugar, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the pork thoroughly with the spice mixture. Allow the pork to sit on the countertop for about 30 minutes.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the pork on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. 
  • Cover and put in the oven for 3 ½ to 4 hours until the meat is extremely tender and pulls away from the bone easily. Shred the pork in the pot with the juices.

Kale Slaw

  • In a small, jar with a lid combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Shake until the vinaigrette is emulsified.
  • Pour kale slaw mix into a large bowl. Pour dressing over slaw and toss to combine.

Build your sandwich

  • Layer as much meat on the bottom bun as you want. Top with Barbecue Sauce (This is my favorite slow cooker bbq sauce recipe.) then slaw (and pickle if you want) Enjoy!

      If it was dry to cooked it too long. You may need to calibrate your oven> https://www.callmepmc.com/how-to-calibrate-your-oven/
      Make you sure you leave the top on and if it was smaller than 4 to 5 pounds it would def not take as long to cook.

    I want to make this tomorrow, could this be browned and put in a crockpot on low or medium? Sounds delicious. Thank you.

      Hey Barbara, I sure do apologize. When I clicked the ‘print recipe’ button in the recipe card, it opened another page that I could just click print. Maybe there was a glitch when you were trying. Please let me know if you continue to have trouble.
