In my never ending quest to buy and use every single item available at Trader Joe’s, I bought a jar of this lovely stuff the other day. I can and have eaten it off a spoon, but this is a better way to use it.
. 
I have access to wild boar and use it in place of domestic pork a lot, but this would also be great if you used a pork shoulder. You can also use a different barbecue sauce, but if you have a Trader Joe’s nearby, you really should try this sauce, it’s so so good.
I use a pressure cooker for the pork because boar can be pretty tough and I live up in the clouds where food doesn’t cook the same way it does at sea level, so sometimes a pressure cooker is necessary. If you don’t have or don’t want to use a pressure cooker, you can leave it in the slow cooker all day or for about six hours in the oven.
Pulled Wild Boar Sandwiches with Slaw
Ingredients
- 1 3 lb. wild boar roast (or pork shoulder)
- 2 cups water
- 1 t salt
- hard rolls
- 1/2 large cabbage, shredded
- 2 carrots, small dice
- 1 jalapeno, small dice
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 t celery seeds
- 1 T olive oil
- Trader Joe’s Siracha Barbecue Sauce (or your favorite barbecue sauce)
Instructions
- Brown the pork on the browning setting of your pressure cooker or in a dutch oven, then add the water and 1 cup of the barbecue sauce and cook for 60 minutes on high in the pressure cooker, letting the pressure come down naturally – about 50 minutes if using domestic pork.
- Mix together the chopped cabbage, carrots and jalapeno

Looks delicious! Am on the same page as you about Trader Joe, but I wouldn’t know even where to get boar meat!
Hi Jesh SrG:
Pork Shoulder works well.
Another fabulous recipe! I’ll have to check out Trader Joe’s for that bbq sauce — I know hubby would love using it!!

You always come up with this great stuff! Always fun to see what you are cooking today! Have a wonderfull day. Thanks for sharing.
Ah yes…pressure cooking in the altitudes….I do remember a family vacation…(somewhere near Leadville) when my folks cooked baked beans in a pressure cooker….and we had them explode to the ceiling in the fancy lodge we were staying in…group bonding to clean up the mess! Your recipe looks delish♪ http://lauriekazmierczak.com/hazy-sun/
Laurie,
HAH! That’s an adventure. The new ones don’t explode, at least I hope they don’t!
This looks delicious!
I LOVE that sauce! Love your recipe, too. On the 4th, we made baby back ribs in the slow cooker with raspberry jam, spices, and sweet onions covering the ribs. We threw in squash for the moisture, and left it for 6 hours. Yum!

Hi Judie!
That sounds amazing. I need to pull my slow cooker down from the shelf and play around with it a bit. I love ribs done that way.
XXOO,

We love that BBQ sauce, too!
Although, to be totally honest, I’ve never made a pulled wild boar sandwich with it.
Honestly.
Thanks for linking to the letter H.

Just wanted to tell you how much we love this recipe! I’ve made it several times. I’m brining the boar ham as of last night since it was a bigger boar this time so it’ll be these delicious sandwiches for dinner tonight. We have property in the country so the wild hogs over run the farm so we have hog meat when we feel the need. So happy to have come across this recipe a few years ago. Thank you!

Hi Holly,
Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know. You have no idea how happy it makes me!
And how lucky are you to have boar meat whenever you like!
xxoo,

Hello, I’m planning on making this for dinner tonight with some wild boar that was given to us by a neighbor. We live at 2,000 ft, does that change the pressure cook time at all? I know you mentioned being at high elevation changes your experience with cooking.

Hi Bridgette,
This is probably too late for your dinner, but I cook at 6500 feet if that’s any help. If I can help with questions about high altitude cooking, please let me know!
