Day 4 of the slow cooker challenge is upon us. So far it has been very successful. The first night I had one helping of sloppy joes leftover, and my husband took it to work with him for lunch. The clam chowder from the second day was a hit and there was only one bowl of that left. I ate it for lunch the following day. It was yummy.
Today is pulled pork which I LOVE and have tried many different ways. I have a big book of slow cooker recipes and it has half a dozen pulled pork recipes. I took a combination of 3 different recipes and mix-matched the different ingredients to make what I have today!
Not for the faint of heart -- this recipe has some serious KICK!
Slow Cooker Jamaican Jerk BBQ Shredded Pork
Ingredients:
1 3lb pork loin roast
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion diced
3 cups root beer
2 cloves minced garlic
1 bottle of prepared chili sauce (455ml)
several dashes of hot pepper sauce
1 tablespoon grated lime zest
Juice of one lime
2 tablespoons of cider vinegar
3 tablespoons of Jamaican jerk seasoning blend
8 to 10 hamburger buns or kaiser rolls split
lettuce leaves or coleslaw (optional)
tomato slices (optional)
Directions:
Trim fat from meat. If necessary cut roast to fit into slow cooker. Rub meat liberally with cooking oil and sprinkle the meat with the jerk seasoning. Massage seasoning into meat. In a large skillet brown the meat on all sides on medium high heat. Drain off fat. Transfer meat to cooker. Add onions and garlic.
Meanwhile, for sauce, in a medium bowl combine the root beer, chili sauce, hot pepper sauce, lime juice, zest and vinegar. Mix well and pour over roast.
Cover and cook on low heat setting for 8-10 hours. Using 2 forks pull meat apart into shreds while still inside slow cooker. Mix with remaining sauce to coat. Serve on toasted buns and top as desired.
