Sandwiches are one of the most popular ways of eating pulled pork. They are very easy to prepare, either using hamburger buns or mini French breads. Other ingredients that could go into such sandwiches can be anything you like and you think goes well with pork meat. Here’s a pulled pork recipe that uses homemade BBQ sauce, because homemade always tastes better.

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs pulled pork meat
• 8 hamburger buns or French mini-baguettes

Ingredients for the barbecue sauce:

• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cups tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon red pepper (Cayenne), ground coarsely
• 1 small onion, minced
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 teaspoon paprika or hot chili powder
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tablespoon virgin olive oil

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 30 minutes (the BBQ sauce needs simmering for about 20 minutes; the recipe assumes that you already have the pulled pork meat)

Serves: 8

Cooking procedure:

First, you want to make the BBQ sauce, so you can take care of the rest while it is simmering. In a frying pan, heat the oil, then cook the onion and the garlic for 2-3 minutes, until they start to get some color. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients, then let the mix simmer for 20 minutes, stirring from time to time. Meanwhile, pull the meat apart with two forks, adding a teaspoon of the hot barbecue sauce if you think it needs more moisture. When ready, pour the sauce over the pulled pork meat, then fill the hamburger buns or mini-breads. Serve immediately, with the remaining sauce as a side dish and with some season salad.
