I came home last night to the BEST meal ever last night that James has ever made... Bourbon-mango pulled pork sandwiches with homemade dinner rolls. Who does that? Bakes homemade bread?! He seems to be a master baker when it comes to homemade bread and buns... I've never attempted too many different bread techniques but he always goes after them full force. Pretty impressive I must say... Here is the recipe adapted from Allrecipes.com that he used. He never follows a recipe verbatim but here is the recipe he used:
Ingredients:
1 mango
1 pork tenderloin
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. chipotle chile powder
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 cups water
1 tsp. chipotle chile powder
2 tsp. honey
1 (1.5 ounce) jigger bourbon whiskey
1 (12 ounce) bottle BBQ sauce.
Directions:
Directions
- Peel the mango and remove the pit. Place the pit into a slow cooker, then roughly chop the mango and set aside. Place the pork tenderloin into the slow cooker, and season with the black pepper, kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon chipotle powder; pour in the balsamic vinegar and water.
- Cover, and cook on Low 5 to 8 hours until the meat is very tender. Once done, drain the pork, discarding the cooking liquid and mango pits, and shred with two forks.
- While the pork is cooking, puree the chopped mango in a blender until smooth, then pour into a saucepan along with the honey, 1 teaspoon chipotle powder, and whiskey. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring frequently until the mango has reduced and darkened slightly, about 10 minutes. Stir in the barbeque sauce, and remove from the heat.
- Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker, and stir in the mango barbeque sauce. Cover, and cook on High 1 to 2 hours until the pork absorbs the barbeque sauce.
