• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

1. Finely dice cabbage and carrots.
2. Place cabbage and carrot mixture into large bowl and add minced onions.
3. Using regular blade on food processor, process remaining ingredients until smooth.
4. Pour over vegetable mixture and mix thoroughly.
5. Cover bowl and refrigerate several hours or overnight before serving.

This goes great as a topping on a pulled pork sandwich.

Ingredients

• 1 large onion, chopped
• 6 garlic cloves, peeled
• 1 pickled jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
• 2 teaspoons of Chipotle chile powder
• 1 Tbsp tomato paste
• 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
• 3/4 cup distilled white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt
• 3 lbs of pork butt shoulder roast, trimmed of excess fat
• Hamburger buns

Directions

1. Purée all of the sauce ingredients (everything except the bay leaf, the pork and the buns) in a blender until smooth. If you have extra time, marinate the pork in the sauce overnight or for several hours before cooking.
2. Put sauce, bay leaf, and pork into a large pot and add 1 quart of water. Bring mixture to a boil and simmer, covered, turning frequently, for 2 hours or until the meat pulls apart easily with a fork.
3. Remove from heat and cool pork in the sauce. When cool, remove the pork from the sauce and shred into small pieces. Set aside.
4. Reduce the sauce by two thirds. Add the pork back to the sauce. Salt to taste. Remove bay leaf before serving. Serve hot on hamburger buns.
5. Make sure you top it off with a big spoonful of coleslaw on top of the pork.

Serves 6 to 8.

Jordon was watching the Rutgers football game last night and they had a shot of the Fat Darrell Sandwhich.  A sandwich made up of mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, French fries and many other unhealthy snacks.  Try at your own risk, definitely not heart smart.
