Pulled Pork And Spicy Slaw Brioche Burgers Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Start by preparing the pulled pork. Rub a pork shoulder with a mixture of spices, such as paprika, garlic powder, and brown sugar. Place the pork in a slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, until the meat is tender and easily shredded.
• STEP 2.While the pork is cooking, prepare the spicy slaw. In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage, sliced jalapenos, mayonnaise, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
• STEP 3.Once the pork is done, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Discard any excess fat. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it with your favorite barbecue sauce. Cook for an additional 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
• STEP 4.To assemble the burgers, lightly toast the brioche buns. Place a generous amount of pulled pork on the bottom bun, followed by a spoonful of spicy slaw. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
• STEP 5.These pulled pork and spicy slaw brioche burgers are best enjoyed fresh. Serve them with a side of fries or a crisp salad for a complete meal.

Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, marinate the pork shoulder in the spice rub overnight before cooking.
• If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also cook the pork in the oven at a low temperature (around 300°F) for 4-5 hours.
• Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness in the slaw by adding more or less jalapenos.
• To make the brioche buns even more indulgent, brush them with melted butter before toasting.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover pulled pork can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• The spicy slaw is best consumed fresh, but any leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
• To reheat the pulled pork, place it in a microwave-safe dish and heat in 30-second intervals until warmed through.
• Serve the burgers with additional barbecue sauce and pickles for extra flavor.
