Pulled Sweet Potato. A Plant Based Take On A Pulled _ _ _ _ * Sandwich
*We don’t say the word p_rk around here, it upsets Mick (our mini pig) too much. Mickers is a sensitive soul. He was sad for a week after the cat called him, *gasp* Bacon Bit.
Don’t be alarmed by the long list of ingredients – you really could just make this with sweet potatoes, your favourite BBQ sauce, salt, peper and a bun. In terms of BBQ sauce, I suggest a tangy sauce with a classic barbecue flavor to balance out the sweetness of the sweet potatoes.
Adding spices and seasoning further deepens the flavour, we like to ‘layer our flavours’ so to speak. The slaw recipe in this post is vinegar based, but nothing is stopping you from using a creamy, mayonnaise based coleslaw.
