As I may or may not have mentioned before, my tiny kitchen is, alas, not blessed with any semblance of outdoor space, save for the front stoop. Therefore, true barbecue anything is not something I can actually accomplish. However, since visiting a barbecue serving restaurant establishment last week, we've been craving barbecue here. Stumbling upon a recipe in Real Simple, I made faux barbecue, and it wasn't half bad. Of course, to those die-hard BBQ fans, I realize this amounts to practically sacrilege. But hey, when you're having a craving and in a pinch...
Faux Pulled Pork Sandwiches
1 pork tenderloin, cut in four pieces crosswise
your favorite barbecue sauce
red wine vinegar
sesame buns
coleslaw (optional)
french fries (optional)
Place pork tenderloin pieces in a large saucepan with 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar.
Simmer, covered about 20 minutes until tenderloin is "fork-tender". Remove from pan and shred tenderloin with a fork.
Mix with a little more barbecue sauce. Serve on sesame buns with a side of coleslaw and french fries.
As I said, it's not true BBQ but it really was good.
