BBQ Pork Sandwiches with Five-Vegetable Slaw

Ingredients

Cooking Directions

For the BBQ sandwiches:

Preheat the oven to 325°. In a medium bowl, whisk together the molasses, vinegar, tomato paste, garlic, cumin, cayenne, paprika, coriander, salt and black pepper. Place the pork cubes and bay leaves in a large, shallow, nonaluminum baking dish. Add the molasses mixture and stir well to coat. Cover with foil and bake until the pork is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

Remove the meat from the sauce and shred with a knife. Return the shredded meat to the baking dish and mix with the sauce.

Slice the buns in half. Spoon the pork onto the bottom halves of the buns and mound 1/2 cup or more of the Vegetable Slaw on top. Cover with the bun tops and serve the remaining Vegetable Slaw on the side.

For the slaw:

In a large bowl, toss together the cabbage, red and green bell peppers, cucumber and scallions. Mix in the mayonnaise, vinegar, salt and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days before serving.
