How to Make Bbq Pulled Pork And Cole Slaw Sandwich

1. **Brine the Pork:** Submerge a 3-4 lb pork shoulder in a container with 1 gallon of water and 1/2 cup kosher salt. Ensure the pork is fully submerged. Refrigerate for 12-16 hours.
2. **Prepare the Pork:** Remove pork from brine and pat completely dry. Discard brine.
3. **Make the Dry Rub:** In a bowl, combine 2 tbsp cumin, 1 tbsp thyme, 2 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp black pepper, 1 tsp cayenne pepper, 2 tbsp salt, 1 tbsp curry powder, and 1 tbsp onion powder.
4. **Season the Pork:** Generously rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder.
5. **Refrigerate:** Wrap the seasoned pork tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours (longer is better!).
6. **Prepare the Coleslaw:** While the pork marinates, combine 8 cups shredded cabbage, 2 cups shredded carrots, and 1/2 cup minced red onion in a large bowl.
7. **Make the Coleslaw Dressing:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp celery seed, and salt and pepper to taste.
8. **Combine Coleslaw:** Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow flavors to meld.
9. **Slow Cook the Pork:** Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Place the pork shoulder in a roasting pan or Dutch oven. Add 1 cup of water or broth to the bottom of the pan.
10. **Cook to Perfection:** Cook for 10-12 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C).
11. **Rest and Shred:** Remove pork from oven and let rest, covered in foil, for 30 minutes. Shred the pork using two forks, reserving the pan drippings.
12. **Mix in Drippings:** Pour some of the pan drippings over the shredded pork to keep it moist and flavorful.
13. **Assemble Sandwiches:** Serve the pulled pork on hamburger buns, topped generously with the coleslaw. Enjoy!
