Opinion – Barbecue Nation: Learn how to make pulled pork off the pitsmoker grill

by

In 1994, it was in the United States that Brazil won its fourth World Cup title, in a tense match against Italy.

To continue with our “little faith”, today’s recipe is pulled pork, a typical American barbecue dish, made with pulled pork and a cabbage-based salad, served on brioche bread.

American barbecue consists of the low and slow technique, which means low and slow.

It concerns the low cooking temperature and the long amount of time, so that collagen breakdown occurs, leaving the meat tender. All this is done in a pitsmoker, a barbecue where the meat is roasted by the heat of the smoke. What we have closest to this equipment here in Brazil would be our barbecue grill.

As it is a piece of equipment that few people have access to, I decided to adapt the recipe: you can prepare it in the oven, and it will be just as tasty as the traditional pulled pork.
