yesterday's dinner

A lot of people say not to make pulled pork with pork tenderloin. I say, Don't knock it 'til you've tried it. It's not bad at all.



Repurposed pickled vegetables turned into slaw.



It was so good that I made and ate six sandwiches.

  1. I've done it both ways--with butt/shoulder and loin--and I definitely prefer the former. But that doesn't mean that the latter isn't perfectly viable.

    Thumbs up for your use of slaw and pickle as toppings, too.

  2. I prefer pork shoulder, too, but because I'm a lazy shit, I don't like having to pluck out the unrendered chunks of fat while I'm pulling the pork. With tenderloin, there's no such problem.

  3. Unrendered chunks of fat? Hmm. I don't really remember having that problem. I think the fat usually renders out--either that or I get fairly lean cuts. But it's also been a while since I've made pulled pork, so I may have just forgotten.

  4. Damn, that all looks good. I'd love to try that cole slaw. Well done, Chef Kevin!
