Pita Pocket Sliders with BBQ Shaved Pork

Take ‘em tailgating, serve up for soccer team dinner, or pair with your fave pale ale for a perfect football Monday night feast! These pita sliders got punch...and are ready in a pinch!
Ingredients:

"Pulled" Pork:

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 package (16 oz - 1 LB) Old Neighborhood Shaved Pork (also tastes great with our Shaved Chicken!)
  • 1/3 cup barbeque sauce, plus more for serving
  • freshly cracked pepper
  • Kosher salt

Sliders:

  • Bag of mini pita bread (sliced open)
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly shaved
  • hot sauce (optional)
  • dried oregano
Instructions:

For the pita bread-
Lay halves on a cookie sheet and place in the broiler to crisp up a bit while you prepare the pork.

For the “pulled” pork-
Preheat a saucepan (or large skillet) over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add pork (taking care to separate layers so it doesn’t clump up) to pan. Season with salt & freshly cracked pepper. Add barbeque sauce and simmer 6-8 minutes, until cooked through. Turn off heat and let rest a few minutes so sauce can set.

For assembly-
Using tongs, stuff mini pitas with pulled pork, and add slices of shaved red onion. Sprinkle with dried oregano & splash with hot sauce (if you like it spicy).

Serve with hot pickled peppers & some cabbage slaw!
