America, America!   How I love you and your food.   There are many foods which I think of when I think of America, and BBQ Pulled Pork is one of them.    Australia is well known for their BBQ’s (remember the slogan “Put another shrimp on the barbie”? ) but America is the king of Barbecue sauces.      As Barbecue sauce is the key ingredient for these very simple BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches, in my mind they are uniquely American.<\/p>\n

\"Pulled<\/a><\/p>\n

The first step to making this pulled pork is to trim the pork shoulder of some of the fat. Don’t worry about getting too picky here – just go for the big chunks of fat. It’s OK to leave some fat on the pork. Next place the pork in the slow cooker and pour a cup of BBQ sauce over the pork. Turn on the slow cooker, and at the end of the day – the pork is tender and falling apart. You don’t use the juices – just the pork.<\/p>\n

Remove the pork and put it in a casserole dish. Use two forks to pull apart the pork until it is finely shredded.<\/p>\n

\"Shredding<\/a><\/p>\n

Add the extra cup of BBQ – you may want to use more or less depending on how much you like the taste of BBQ sauce. Put the casserole dish in the oven for about 10-15 minutes. This is just to heat up the BBQ sauce that you added, so if you are short on time you can just use the microwave!<\/p>\n

\"Pulled<\/a><\/p>\n

Pulled Pork Sandwiches taste wonderful served with some coleslaw and a cob on the corn on the side. Now I think I might be ready to sit for my citizenship test. Wait, you mean there are no questions about American foods? What a pity!<\/p>\n
