Carolina Pulled-Pork Sandwiches

These authentic Carolina pulled-pork sandwiches bring the soul of American barbecue to your garden. This high-protein dish centres on succulent pork shoulder, slowly smoked over hickory wood until it reaches melting tenderness. The signature of the Carolina style is the sharp, vinegar-based mopping sauce, which cuts through the richness of the meat to provide a perfectly balanced, savoury flavour profile. Using a blend of paprika, dark brown sugar and cayenne, the dry rub creates a beautiful crust known as the 'bark'.

Ideal for hosting friends or a weekend family feast, this homemade classic is as rewarding to make as it is to eat. The pork is shredded and piled high into soft seeded buns, then topped with a crisp, tangy coleslaw for a contrast in textures. For the best results, prepare the meat a day in advance to let the spices penetrate deeply, ensuring every bite is packed with smoky, southern-style character.
