Leftovers #22 ~ Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Sunday roast was slow cooked seasoned pork tenderloin and of course there were leftovers which became pulled pork sandwiches. This recipe is simple and easy providing the pork you use is already cooked. The ingredients can be found in your kitchen or pantry possibly with the exception of Camp coffee. Which is an easy ingredient to substitute. Not only is Camp coffee good to bake with it is also good to cook with as I am finding out. 

Pulled Pork Sandwiches

-------------------------------------------------

2 cups of Passata sauce (strained tomatoes)

1 tablespoon apple cider

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons English mustard

1 tablespoon Camp coffee, optional

2 tablespoons dark brown sugar 

1 to 2 cloves of garlic

1 shallot finely minced

vegetables - chopped spinach, grated carrots, or diced peppers (optional) 

Leftover pork tenderloin - I had about half of a pork tenderloin  

roughly chopped green onions (scallions) for garnish. 

In a medium large pot mix all the ingredients together, except the pre-cooked pork tenderloin, over medium heat. 

Add the leftover pork and cover the pot with a lid and let cook... or stew for about 30 minutes. 

By this time the pork should be nice and soft and ready to be pulled. Remove the lid and using two forks start to shred the pork. Not to worry if some pieces don't separate easily. Lower the heat to medium low and continue to simmer for a few minutes longer. About 5 to 7 minutes.    

Remove from heat. Spoon the now pulled pork onto buns. Place chopped green onions on top. Serve with a green salad or steamed veggies. Enjoy! 

Notes: If you do not have Camp coffee or can't find any then try using gravy browner. The measurements for ingredients may be changed based on your tastes. I like a more seasoned rich smoky flavour rather than a sticky sweet one therefore I only added 2 tablespoons of dark brown sugar.  

 

                Pulled to perfection. Such a delicious rich smell. Nice texture.

Just waiting for a bite and to melt-in-your-mouth. These pulled pork sandwiches went over very well and were complimented with a super green salad. Double thumbs up from everyone including the kidlets!
