Description

These Texan-Style Pulled Pork sliders are guaranteed to be your new weekend favourite. You’ll love its rich flavour and that you can find hand-trimmed, locally sourced pork cuts in-store right now.

Directions

1. To make the pulled pork, preheat the oven to 140 °C.

2. Place all rub ingredients into a bowl and mix together.

3. Drizzle pork belly with a little olive oil and smear rub onto both sides of the pork.

4. Place pork onto a roasting tray, skin side up and roast in oven for about 2-3 hours or until pork belly is cooked and soft enough to pull. You may need to cover pork with foil if you feel it’s browning too quickly.

5. Remove from oven and using two forks, pull the pork. Discard some of the fat if your pork is a little too fatty.

6. To make the sliders, halve the burger buns and smear the bottom half with some mayonnaise.

7. Top with some shredded lettuce, pulled pork, sliced gherkins and a good drizzle of smokey BBQ sauce. If you are looking for extra spice, drizzle with a little sriracha sauce.

8. Place the other half of the bun on top and serve.
