BCPL A Book & a Recipe Aug. 2026
Ready for another round of great reading and a recipe? We sure are!
Today we're making Pulled Pork Rolls (Sliders) from Jenny Colgan's novel Summer at the Little Beach Street Bakery!
Let's get started...
We're changing it up a little and using the word direct from the book/author-
These are perfect for picnics. There's about a million ways to make pulled pork: as long as it's cooked long enouhg to be gorgeously tender, it doesn't really matter. I just use the simplest - I buy a huge hunk of pork (cheap cuts), cover it in olive oil, salt, pepper, a little sugar, and then wrap it up tightly in aluminum foil and cook for one hour at 400F, then five and a half hours at 250F, then a quick 15 minutes at 400F again. Then, if you can bear it, leave overnight.
Then pull apart with a fork and stick in a bowl.
To make the sauce:
250 ml mustard (English, not the stuff with seeds in)
150 ml brown sugar
180 ml cider vingar
50 ml water
Plenty of black pepper
Chili powder to taste - 1 or 2 tsp
Cayenne pepper to taste - 1/2 tsp
30 g butter
1 tsp of soy sauce
Bring all the ingredients, except soy sauce and butter, to boil on the stove. Let it simmer for 30 minutes, then add butter and soy sauce: simmer for a further 10 minutes.
Mix in sauce with the pork. Serve in rolls with coleslaw on the side - they're great for picnics!
