Italian Seasoned
Pulled Pork Sandwiches





pork


Tender

Pulled Pork Sandwiches are always a favorite around my house. The pork is seasoned with Italian herbs and spices and slow cooked until it’s tender and juicy.


After the pork is shredded I place it back in it’s own juice which is made with broth, red wine and aromatic vegetables. I always use garlic toasted buns or dinner rolls for any of my sandwiches.

Once the pork is placed on the bun just top it with the remaining vegetables or a little giardiniera and you’ll have the best Pulled Pork Sandwich you ever tasted.

  • 4 to 5 pound pork shoulder
  • 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil

  • Rub the herb mixture all over the pork.
  • Wrap the pork in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.
  • Place the carrots and celery at the bottom of a slow cooker.
  • Remove the plastic from around the roast and place on top of the veggies.
  • Top the pork with the onions and add the broth and the wine.
