Banana Bread Sandwiches With Pulled Pork
- For the pulled pork:
- 3 pounds boneless pork butt/shoulder
- 2 tablespoons smoked sea salt
- 1 orange, quartered
- 6 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1/4 cup rum (tropical flavor like passion fruit or mango preferred)
- To assemble the sandwiches
- 3 cups shredded red cabbage
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut white balsamic vinegar (or other light vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon lemon or white sugar
- 2 loaves of your favorite banana bread
- Butter
- Using a steak knife, poke the pork all over and rub with smoked salt. Place in the slow cooker along with the orange quarters and garlic cloves. Turn on low and cook for 12 hours. Halfway through, flip the pork and add the rum.
- When done, remove the excess fat and shred the pork with a fork.
- Place the shredded cabbage in a salad spinner or a colander over a bowl. Sprinkle the salt over the cabbage and mix. Let sit for an hour, then rinse and squeeze/spin out the excess water. Transfer the cabbage to a sealable container. Add the vinegar and sugar and mix. Cover and store in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, until ready to use.
- Slice the banana bread to the thickness you prefer and butter both sides. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and cook the banana bread slices, turning once, until both sides are browned.
- Top one slice with the pulled pork and slaw and add the other slice. Serve with plantain or yucca chips, or any chips, or eat plain, and relish in your happiness.
