Ingredients

- 15 ml (1 tbsp) bourbon pepper seasoning for grilled meat (in the spice section of your supermarket)
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) brown sugar
- 10 ml (2 tsp) sea salt
- 1 pork shoulder roast, boned, about 1.4 kg (3 lb)
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) olive oil
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) butter
- 4 medium onions, thinly sliced
- 250 ml (1 cup) BBQ sauce
- 8 slices of white bread
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) softened butter
- 45 ml (3 tbsp) Dijon mustard
- 8 slices of strong cheddar
Preparation
- In a bowl, mix together the first four ingredients. Remove the string from the roast and roll out. Rub the meat with the spices.
- Place the meat in a Dutch oven.
- Cover and refrigerate for about 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 135°C (275°F).
- Add 250 ml (1 cup) of water to the meat in the Dutch oven.
- Cook in the oven, covered, for 4 to 4 1/2 hours, adding a bit of water if needed, until the meat pulls apart easily.
- Let cool a bit.
- As the meat rests, in a skillet heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat.
- Sauté the onions for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until caramelized.
- Set aside.
- Once the meat is cool, remove the large pieces of fat.
- With two forks, pull the meat apart.
- Add the BBQ sauce and stir.
- Add the caramelized onion and stir again.
- You will have enough mixture to make the recipe once more.
- You may freeze the excess meat if you are not planning to use it within a few days.
- Make the grilled cheese and pork sandwiches, spreading butter on the outside of the slices of bread.
- Then spread some Dijon mustard on the inside. Place a slice of cheddar on the lower slice of the sandwich.
- Add the meat and top with another slice of cheese.
- Close the sandwich.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Grill covered, 1 sandwich at a time, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
- Adjust the heat if needed until nicely browned, making sure the cheese has melted.
- Serve hot.
