Tonight we had the pulled pork sandwiches (page 154.) and I made the coleslaw (pg 292). It really calls for very few ingredients.
First let me start by saying that tonight was the first time I have ever browned meat before putting it in the crock pot. WOW what a difference it makes.. who knew?!
The smell of apple cider vinegar was very over whelming to me but I didn't get any comments like I did last night. (thank goodness.) I started the meat around 9:00a.m. Tested it about 4:30p.m. and WOW it was so tender. You really can't taste the liquid smoke, which surprised me because I have used it before and it was super strong.
Then I started the coleslaw. I was hoping to cheat and get a bag-o-slaw at the store but they didn't have one. So I had to get the purple and white cabbage. Man it was cheep.... It was $.50 for the purple and $.69 for the white. Another surprise. Then I started to cut it and had to call Tracy for some guidance. Because I couldn't get the strips I wanted. He said it was because I was using the worlds dullest knife. (funny guy!) So after some talk about how bland the flavor was and the fact I forgot to get fennel seeds. I added a little more mustard. Then went and got the fennel. I have never really used fennel seeds so I wasn't sure how much flavor they would add. What a difference they made.
So finally put the sandwich together. I made mine HUGE!!!! So this is the picture of 
Tracy's sandwich. The kids didn't want the coleslaw and here is what the critics had to say.

ReplyDeleteThe cole slaw was not like ... KFC for example. It was mostly the cabbage taste and the fennel... it was super good...
ReplyDeleteI definately will make this and I will make the cole slaw as it can be made without the normal creamy dressing.
