Pulled-Pork Sandwiches with Cabbage, Capers, and Herb Slaw
from Fine Cooking
1-1/2 Tbs. capers, preferably salt-packed
2 cups very thinly sliced green cabbage
1/4 small red onion, very thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 Tbs. thinly sliced fresh chives
1-1/2 tsp. finely chopped fresh oregano
1–2 tsp. finely chopped preserved red chiles, such as cherry peppers or Calabrian peppers, or substitute Asian chile sauce (optional)
2 Tbs. red wine vinegar
Kosher salt
3-1/2 cups leftover shredded Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder
1 baguette
3 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil; more to taste
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F.
Rinse the capers well. If using salt-packed capers, soak them in warm water for at least 5 minutes. (They should taste capery rather than salty; if not, continue soaking for a little longer.) Drain the capers and, unless they’re very small, coarsely chop them. Combine the capers, cabbage, red onion, parsley, chives, oregano, and chiles (if using). Add the vinegar and 1/4 tsp. salt, toss well, and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Toss again and season to taste with more salt or chile.
Cut the baguette crosswise into 4 equal portions (each 5 to 6 inches long) and then slice each piece horizontally so that it opens like a book. Just before serving, put the baguette pieces on a baking sheet, opening each as much as possible, and toast very lightly under the broiler, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide the pork into 4 equal portions and mound on the bottom half of each piece of baguette.
