Lucille's Pulled Pork Sandwich
Ingredients
10-15 pounds boneless pork shoulder
Directions
Cut your pork shoulder into 2" strips along the width of the shoulder. You are trying to create more surface area for the smoke than just leaving it a big chunk of meat.
Smoke the meat for at least 2 hours with your favorite wood variety.
If you don't have a smoker, you can skip this step. It won't taste as good, but it will still be amazing.
Once you've got some good color on the meat, remove from the smoker and put it into a large pot. Fill with water to cover the meat.
Place a lid on the pot and cook on very low heat for 6-8 hours.
Remove the meat from the liquid and put it into a large bowl. It should be falling apart pretty easily.
Shred the pork. Serve on a toasted hoagy roll. Hit it with a little Lucille's Vinegar BBQ Sauce. This is a great sauce found typically in the Carolinas.
The acid works to cut the fattiness of the pork.
Top your sandwich off with Lucille's Tangy Spicy Coleslaw. (The coleslaw and vinegar BBQ sauce recipes are on this website too!)
How much pulled pork per sandwich?
Plan on 3–4 oz of pulled pork per sandwich as a main course serving — about 1/3 to 1/2 cup once shredded. For a heartier sandwich, go up to 5–6 oz.
How do you season pulled pork?
A dry rub of brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne builds the base flavor before the low-and-slow cook. Toss the shredded pork in our Vinegar Based BBQ Sauce right after pulling, then finish with a drizzle of Lucille's Stone Ground, Habanero Infused Honey Mustard for sweet heat.

Hot honey is real honey infused with chili peppers, giving it sweet heat instead of straight sweetness. Lucille's Habanero Infused Honey is made for drizzling — on pulled pork, pizza, fried chicken, or cornbread right out of the oven.
