North Carolina Chopped Barbecued Pork Burgers

From Norma Jean Darden owner of two NYC soul food restaurants, Miss Maude's Spoonbread Too and Miss Mamie's Spoonbread Too.  These are served sloppy Joe style.

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • One 2-pound pork shoulder roast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon celery seeds
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup cider vinegar, plus more for seasoning
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup water
 

Method

Preheat the oven to 325°F.  In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat the oil, then brown the roast on all sides.

Mix the remaining ingredients together in a medium-size nonreactive saucepan and bring to a boil.  Pour over the roast and cover.  Bake until fork tender, about 40 minutes per pound, basting occasionally with the pan drippings.

Transfer the roast to a cutting board.  Remove the meat from the bone and chop into fairly fine pieces.

Serve it up: sloppy joe style on toasted hamburger buns

Top it off with a splash of cider vinegar, hot sauce to taste, and coleslaw heaped on top.

Makes 6 to 8 burgers
