Low-Calorie Pulled Pork Sandwich Recipe by David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding

Traditional North Carolina pulled pork is dressed with nothing more than a bit of spicy cider vinegar. Spicy cider vinegar is usually to accentuate the meat’s flavor, not mask it. Unfortunately, when restaurants interpret this dish for a national audience, they use the same cheap trick unleashed on barbecued beef and racks of ribs: a bucket of sickeningly sweet sauce made from a slurry of sugar, corn syrup, and other insulin-spiking ingredients. The result: A single sandwich with as many calories as three Big Macs!

Eat This Tip – Low Cal Pulled Pork Sandwich

Not satisfied going the way of the Crock-Pot with your pork shoulder? Ed Mitchell, the chef at The Pit in Raleigh, North Carolina, provides the details for an authentic, yet home-friendly smoked shoulder: Build a large charcoal fire on one side of the grill (called banking). Top the charcoal with a big handful of soaked hickory chips. On the other side, place a pan to catch meat drippings. Add the pork to the side with the pan, place the lid on top, and cook for 4 hours, refreshing the fire and the wood chips if the heat or the smoke dies down.
