Preparation
 

Prepare the pulled pork:

  • Mix the spices for the rub and rub generously into the meat.
  • Place the meat in a slow cooker or roasting pan, pour in the apple juice.
  • Cook covered in the oven or slow cooker at 110-120 °C for approx. 8 hours until the meat is butter-tender and can be easily pulled apart.
  • After cooking, pull the meat apart with two forks.
  • Stir in some of the gravy to keep the meat juicy.

Prepare the BBQ sauce:

  • Place all the ingredients in a small pan and simmer over a medium heat for approx. 10 minutes.
  • Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar and set aside.

Prepare the coleslaw:

  • Mix the white cabbage, carrots, mayo, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper in a bowl.
  • Allow to infuse well, ideally for 1-2 hours in the fridge.

Put together a burger:

  • Cut the buns in half and toast with a little butter in a pan or on the grill.
  • Brush the underside with BBQ sauce and generously top with pulled pork.
  • Top with a spoonful of coleslaw, put the lid on - and your BBQ burger is ready.

Recommended side dishes:

  • Sweet potato fries with aioli - slightly sweet, crispy, creamy - the perfect texture combination for a burger.
  • Grilled corn on the cob with herb butter - sweet, juicy and with roasted aromas that emphasize the BBQ theme.
  • Pickled red onions or cucumbers - bring freshness and acidity to balance the flavor.
