Pulled Pork Sandwiches:

12 oz. cooked pork, shredded (suggestion: purchase pre-cooked pork roast in refrigerator section)

1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

2T balsamic vinegar

2T light brown sugar

1T chili powder

1 tsp. paprika

1 tsp. ground cumin

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

4 kaiser rolls, halved

Oven-Baked Parmesan French Fries:

5 russet potatoes

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

 

Pulled Pork Sandwiches:

Prepare unseasoned, pre-cooked pork roast according to package instructions. Once warm, shred with two forks.

In a medium sauce pan, combine pork, chicken broth, vinegar, sugar, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.

Set pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer.

Cook 15 minutes, until liquid reduces and sauce thickens.

Serve pork on halved kaiser rolls.

Oven-Baked Parmesan French Fries:

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Peel potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices (lengthwise). Cut each slice into 1/2-inch thick fries.

Place the potatoes into a pot with cold water and 1T of salt.

Bring up to a gentle boil and simmer until a paring knife tip goes through easily, about 3/4 of the way cooked.

Drain carefully and put in a bowl.

Add olive oil, 1T salt, and 1/2 tsp. black pepper.

Toss well and lay out in 1 layer on nonstick baking sheet.

Bake until light brown.

When brown, sprinkle with Parmesan and continue to bake until well-browned and crispy and the cheese is melted and caramelized, about 6 to 7 more minutes.

Remove and let cool for 2 minutes. Serve.
