Now that the weather is starting to warm, it’s time for barbecue.  Do you love barbecue? I certainly due. Having lived in California, Texas, and North Carolina, I have tried so many different kinds. In North Carolina, I fell in love with their  pork barbecue topped with a spicy vinegar based sauce. I’m drooling just thinking about it.

These Carolina Pork Sliders with Sweet Coleslaw are my version of this Carolina barbecue. Using leftover pork roast, these are so quick and easy to make. You’ll love them!

Kahula Pork

The pork roast on these sliders can be any recipe you like. My favorite pork recipe is my Hawaiian Kalua Pork. I know Hawaii and North Carolina are nowhere near each other, but the flavors compliment each other. Plus my recipe for Kalua Pork includes  only 3 ingredients and is cooked in a crock pot.

The coleslaw I serve on these sliders in my Tri-Color Sweet Coleslaw. It’s another easy recipe that is full of fresh real food ingredients. The sweetness of the dressing and slaw goes really well with the vinegar and spice in the barbecue sauce. They balance each other out and create a really delicious slider.

Carolina Vinegar Based Barbecue Sauce - #BBQ #vinegar #recipe

The sauce isn’t your typical tomato sauced barbecue sauce. You’ll find different versions of a vinegar based sauce all over the Carolinas. I like apple cider vinegar for mine and that’s what you’ll find in my recipe. My version’s heat is mellower than some that I’ve had. My kids aren’t too fond of really spicy food, so I tone it down for them and then add additional cayenne or tabasco to my sandwich for a more authentic Carolina flavor.

 Enjoy!

    Your stand out photography makes people drool over your dish – despite the fact that some of us already have eaten dinner!

      Dan, once you’d had this you will crave it every now and then. I <3 Texas style BBQ with a passion, but every now and then, I need a little of this. Happy I could make you drool. 🙂

    I do, I do love bar-b-q! You have me drooling already, aching to get the bar-b-q grill we bought last fall out of the garage and start it up! We’ll need some propane first, but I’m gonna get that thing going – and SOON!

    Nicky, the colors of the slaw certainly make these sliders beautiful. They look so festive. We have several rib cook offs in our city and my favorite is always the sliders. I like all the saucy goodness without the hastle of the bones. We should enter your recipe into a contest.

      We could do that. I was thinking about entering a few contests here over the summer.
