Leftover Pulled Pork

[Saber 4]

I needed a quick and easy dinner tonight and I had leftover pulled pork and I found a box of Spanish Rice Pilaf in the pantry so I warmed up my pork with a splash of apple sauce and started the Spanish rice in water like the instructions called for but I wanted some more liquid so the pork didn't get dried out when I added it and the rice wouldn't be undercooked so I added more apple juice to pot. Added the meat and let it simmer till done. It turned out good and the wife liked that the rice had a good bite but wasn't so spicy that it was overpowering like it is when we cook it plain. The picture isn't the greatest, there is a lot more pork in it than you can see.

Good use of left over pulled pork

I don't understand- what is this word leftover when used with pulled pork??? ::)

[Ka Honu]

"Left over" (or "leftover") when used in conjunction with terms such as "pulled pork" or "barbecue" denotes the result of proper and careful planning whereby one purchases and prepares far more product than required for one meal, thereby enabling (with proper storage) continued enjoyment of said product without the usually required advance notice.

Ka Honu you are the word master as well as the smoke master, I couldn't have come up with a better reply and I thought I was going to have to until I read your musings.

Lol...I was going to say....what is "leftover" pulled pork? You must " plan" for "extras"!

Ok I had some "extra" pulled pork so I decided to do a pulled pork tortellini with some Buitoni sauce and pasta that I had. It sure gave the sauce a nice smoky flavor and the boss said we should do it again.





Of course the wife's only comment on the pictures was to tell me I failed to wipe the edge of the plate like they do on tv.

Looks good..... How do you keep leftover butt does anyone use any broth or just put in plastic bags I have a lot of leftovers and don't want it to taste old when I eat it again

I just stuffed it in Tupperware in the fridge so I could grab a cold bite for a snack when I went through the kitchen, if I was going to reheat it for pulled pork sandwiches I put some apple juice in it when I warmed it up and for the pasta I just warmed it in the pan for a couple of minutes then added the sauce for moisture and it turned out great. I'm sure others will chime in with their methods that we can both pick up tips from. You can also vac seal it and it should last in the freezer for a while.

I bring my left overs to work and feed the natives, that keeps them from coming and waking me up on night shift when I have my feet up on my desk for a rest  ;)

That looks really tasty, Saber 4  ;)

I save my pulled pork by sealing in a FoodSaver bag, then into the freezer.  To reheat, I place the entire bag (still sealed) in a pan of water and bring to temperature - almost as good as the day I put it in the freezer.

Exactly the way I do it too.

Yeah, except for the "almost as good" part.  Might even be better.
