Ingrediënten

1 Brioche bun

3/4 cup Barbecue pork (100g recipe below)

1/2 cup Cilantro lime apple slaw (80g recipe below)

2 ½ Tbsp. Stubbs barbecue sauce (30g because it's lowest in carbs or your favorite homemade*)

12 oz bag of coleslaw mix

1/2 Bell pepper, diced- (red, yellow, or orange are my fave!) (50g)

1/4-1/2 cup Chopped green onion (30g)

1/4 cup Chopped apple (40g)

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped (20g)

1 Tbsp. White wine vinegar (15g)

2 Tbsp Light mayo (30g)

3 Tbsp Fresh squeezed lime juice (45g)

1/4 tsp Salt

1/8 tsp Pepper

1 tsp Honey (7g)

2 lb Pork tenderloin, trimmed of silver skin

1 Tbsp. Liquid smoke (15g; sold at grocery stores near bbq sauce)

1/2 cup Water (120g)

1 onion, chopped (280 g)

8 cloves Garlic (I use the frozen Dorot cubes I get at TJ- LOVE these)

1 Tbsp Brown sugar (18g)

2 tsp Dry mustard

2 tsp Onion powder

1 tsp Chili powder

1 tsp Cumin

1 tsp Paprika

1 tsp Kosher salt

1/2 tsp Cayenne* (optional.. if you like a kick)

Instructies

*Our favorite super simple (non-low carb!) homemade bbq sauce: I don't always want to spend the carbs on all this sugar but sometimes I just-- do!

Whisk together 1 cup ketchup, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1-2 tbs liquid smoke and microwave for a minute or bring to a light boil on the stove.

For the Cilantro Lime Apple Slaw

Mix first six ingredients together for dressing (Add up to ¼ cup canola oil if you aren’t watching your fat, I skip it.)

Toss with remaining ingredients. It might seem dry at first but it gets better as it sits for a little bit. If it still seems too dry, just add another squeeze of lime or dash of vinegar.

For the Pork

Cut pork into 4 inch chunks and season with salt. Sear on all sides.

Put smoke, water, pork, onion, garlic, and all spices in the instant pot (I used it!!!!) or you can use a slow cooker. (Don’t stress about the spices, use what you have and skip what you don’t)

Set your instant pot to manual and 45 minutes. Allow for 10-15 minute natural release, then open the vent. Open the lid when it releases easily.

I like to pull out the chunks and shred them in a shallow dish for ease. Then pour as much of the juices over it as seems good. Toss in juices.

If you like your pork a little less juicy and more crispy, you can fry some up in a pan with cooking spray like these carnitas. We like it both ways.

For the Slow Cooker

Set to high for 6 hours or low for 8-10.

When done, shred with two forks and toss in juices.

For the Sandwich

Spray the inside of the buns with cooking spray and pan-toast on a skillet

Immediately top with shredded pork, bbq sauce, and cilantro lime apple slaw. Enjoy!! And then probably do it again because these boys are pretty darn light.
