Have you ever been to a Food Festival and seen the guy selling ripped BBQ pork rolls ? They normally have a massive joint of pork slow cooking on a large open grill, smelling like a BBQ.

You can make this smoky BBQ pulled pork at home, it is easy, make up a smoky BBQ sauce using some Ketchup, Paprika, Vinegar and a few other ingredients, smother the pork shoulder in the BBQ sauce and cook in a slow cooker for hours and hours.

The great thing with this recipe is that the meat will stay edible and juicy for a few days as it can be kept on warm in the slow cooker.

I like to serve this Pulled Pork in a roll with homemade Coleslaw or Potato Salad and Chips. ...

History of Pulled Pork
The history of pulled pork traces its roots back to the culinary traditions of the Southern United States, where slow-cooking methods were developed to tenderize tougher cuts of meat.

This technique became particularly popular among barbecue enthusiasts, who would season the pork with a variety of spices and sauces, allowing the flavours to meld during the cooking process.

Over time, pulled pork evolved into a staple at social gatherings and barbecues, celebrated for its rich taste and versatility.

Today, it is enjoyed in various forms across the country, often served in sandwiches or as a main dish, reflecting the enduring legacy of Southern barbecue culture.

What is Pulled Pork

Pulled pork is an American barbecue dish, more specifically a dish of the Southern U.S, based on shredded barbecued pork shoulder.

It is typically slow-smoked over wood; indoor variations use a slow cooker. The meat is then shredded manually and mixed with a sauce.

Once this Pulled Pork is it is a great BBQ idea to serve it in Brioche Buns with Homemade Coleslaw.
