Everyone knows what a pulled pork sandwich is, right? You can nearly taste it now: rich, slow-cooked meat with tangy sauce served on a bun, usually with pickles, coleslaw, and maybe a side of baked beans. A BBQ pulled pork sandwich is a beloved dish, with variations found in every state for a reason, but did you know it's not actually the only type of pulled pork out there?
Italian pulled pork is also delicious in a sandwich or as the main attraction on a plate full of sides, but it's a different dish altogether. To make Italian pulled pork, pork shoulder is dressed in garlic and other Italian herbs before being slow-cooked for hours in white wine and onions. The result is a rich, flavorful treat that goes especially well with Italian-style greens.
