Pork Shoulder Sandwiches
- 6 -8 lbs pork butt or 6 -8 lbs pork shoulder
- 1/4 cup brown mustard or 1/4 cup spicy mustard
- 8 -10 slices Texas toast thick bread (or Wonder, Iron Kids, etc..)
- barbecue sauce (your favorite)
- Coleslaw (I use KFC Coleslaw KFC Coleslaw) (optional)
- French fries (I buy a large order from a local eatery because their fries are addictive) (optional)
- Spice Rub
- 2 1/2 tablespoons sweet paprika
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (add less to adjust heat)
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1 tablespoon thyme
- Coat shoulder with mustard and sprinkle liberally with Spice Rub coating all sides.
- Place in a plastic bag and refrigerate overnight.
- Remove from refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
- Place uncovered shoulder directly on rack with a drip pan beneath.
- Roast for 7-8 hours (or until falling apart).
- Remove from oven to a cooling rack to rest for at least 1 hour.
- Pull pork apart using fingers or two forks.
- Serve by topping 1 slice of bread with a generous portion of meat, BBQ sauce, coleslaw and fries.
- It makes a pretty messy (but unbeatable) open-faced sandwich so you may want to have forks at the ready.
