pulled pork collar seasoned with Lane’s BBQ Signature Rub, served with slaw

Pulled pork and slaw are barbecue’s Bonnie and Clyde. The mayo, seasoning and vinegar found in the slaw cut through the pork really well and the crunch of the cabbage makes for a great texture. You can mix things up by using green cabbage, adding carrot, using your favourite hot sauce and different spices.

The BBQ sauce recipe is our go to for smoked meats. We love the flavour and it’s simplicity. Store bought sauces are full of refined sugar which often overpowers the flavour of the meat. This sauce has a relatively milder sweetness to it. Mix some through the pork while you’re pulling it apart and add a drizzle before serving.

When slow cooking a pork collar, oyster blade or chuck for that matter, work on about 45% shrinkage and waste. Sounds a lot doesn’t it! This is worst case scenario but it can happen. A lamb shoulder is a much higher ratio at up to 60% wastage.
