How to make a Pulled Pork Sandwich on Carnivore Bread
To start – make the Honey Mustard.
Follow this recipe. Store the mustard in the fridge in an airtight container (or a condiment squeeze bottle, if you prefer) until you’re ready to use it.
Next – make the Carnivore Sandwich Bread.
Follow this recipe. Once done, allow the bread to rest on the countertop or on a cooling rack.
Once cooled, slice the bread into 1-inch thick slices (or whatever thickness you prefer), and set aside.
Next – make the Pulled Pork.
If you’re working with one large slab of pork shoulder, cut it into 4-5 pieces.
Rub the pulled pork pieces with about 1/4 cup of Honey Mustard and sea salt, plus whatever other spices you prefer to use. (I don’t use any spices, and it comes out great!)
In your Instant Pot or on the stovetop, sear all sides of the pork shoulder pieces until brown. For the Instant Pot, use the Sauté function. For the stovetop, use medium-high heat.
Place the seared pork pieces in the Instant Pot or slow cooker. Add the freshly squeezed apple juice and ACV.
If using the Instant Pot, pressure cook on High Pressure for 60 minutes with 20 minutes slow release. If using the slow cooker, slow cook on low for 8 hours.
Next – make the Honey Mustard Slaw.
Mix the pre-made coleslaw with Honey Mustard until it’s as thick and creamy as you prefer. I like mine creamy, so I used a good amount of Honey Mustard.
Now – put it all together!
Toast the slices of bread, if preferred.
On the bottom slice of bread, add a liberal amount of pulled pork.
Top the pork with the Honey Mustard Slaw, finely chopped red onions, and finish it off with the other slice of bread.
If preferred, cut each sandwich in half. Place toothpicks in the half-sandwiches to hold the pieces together.
Serve, savor, and enjoy!
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. The components (pulled pork, slaw, bread) stored individually will last longer in the fridge, like 4-5 days.
Tips to make the best Pulled Pork Sandwich on Carnivore Bread
- For the Honey Mustard:
- When you add the duck fat to the base mixture of the duck fat mayo (this is the base that is used for the Honey Mustard), make sure you add it VERY slowly. Don’t rush this part!
- If storing in a condiment squeeze bottle, the honey mustard may firm up a bit after sitting in the fridge. Just squeeze the bottle a few times to massage it and it will end up squeezing out.
For the Carnivore Sandwich Bread:
- Do not skip any of the steps. In the past, I sometimes would not follow the texture instructions (i.e. beat egg whites until frothy, separate these two ingredients into a separate bowl and mix, etc.) for recipes, and it makes a difference. Each step in the recipe is important for maintaining texture.
