Cooking Instructions
Step 1 :: BBQ Sliders
In a small bowl mix the paprika, minced onion, chili powder, salt, garlic powder, and allspice. Rub spice mixture over pork and pan-sear in a deep skillet that has a cover to brown and fortify flavors. De-glaze with the vinegar, then add the Coca-Cola and brown sugar, mix to dissolve, turn down heat to low and cover. Place in the oven at 300 degrees and cook for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender or add the mixture to a slow cooker and cook for 12 hours on low, covered.
Step 2
Remove the pork and place on a cutting board, pull into shreds. Return to the pot or slow cooker to keep warm. Place about 1/4 cup of the pork mixture onto each bun bottom. Add a sprinkle of hot sauce, if desired. Top with slaw and top of the roll and serve.
Step 3
Strain the liquid and return to the stove, reduce the volume to 50% and add back to the pork so it stay moist.
Step 4 :: Green Cabbage Slaw:
Whisk together the vinegar, salt, sugar, celery salt, pepper, and garlic in a large bowl until combined. Reserve 1/4 cup of the dressing for serving. Toss the green cabbage in the dressing until completely coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
Step 5
Strain the coleslaw through a colander and discard the liquid. Transfer the coleslaw to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the reserved dressing and the oil. Season with salt and pepper if necessary and toss to coat.
