| I found some good looking pulled pork at Costco and bought it.... now I'm wondering how to serve it for dinner. I've only ever had it as a sandwich at a BBQ joint. Can I just serve it on a plate as a meal for supper? What sides would you serve with it? No one in my family will eat coleslaw, and corn on the cob is out of season....? |
| You could make some polenta as a side - it soaks up the juices nicely and does not have an overpowering flavor to compete with the pork. Bonus: it only takes 10 minutes to make and all you need is the corn flour, some salt and water. |

Did you get the Kirkland brand that doesn't have sauce or the Jack Daniel's brand with sauce? I bought both but have't used the sauceless one yet. For the Jack Daniel's one, I just served with toasted sandwich thins and a big salad. The sauce was REALLY sweet so the salad with vinegarette was refreshing and ballanced the sweetness.
If you bought the sauceless one, you could either do a sweet bbq sauce with it or more of a vinegar based one. I think the sides would depend on which you did. There is nothing wrong with serving it sandwich style for dinner! Like a better version of sloppy joes. |

thanks, good ideas! I especially like the polenta.
what veggies would you serve with pulled pork? |
| served on buns with broccoli slaw, baked beans on side or fries |
| i would still put it on a bun. cucumber salad, sweet potato fries on the side. |
| Second the broccoli slaw (not too sweet) to put on the pork, toasted buns. Kettle chips. Carrot sticks. |
I want to thank everyone for not mocking me for buying pulled pork and then not having any idea how to serve it!
I served it last night just plain, with oven fried diced yams (peanut oil, salt, and a little lemon-pepper seasoning) and sauteed green beans with garlic. I also found some decent looking corn on the cob, and everyone liked it, so a successful dinner. Now I still have a lot of pulled pork left, though. Can I make a pulled pork pot pie?

Pulled pork is great to put in quesadillas! |
| Or on a pizza. |

Pulled pork is very yummy on quesadillas or in tacos. Make some fresh pico de gallo to go with it....
