I found the cutest little hot dog rolls at my local bakery the other day and it was hard to say no when you imagine teeny tiny hot dogs with tomato sauce, plus I had a four year old begging for ‘baby bread’.
Needless to say, I simply had to come up with a recipe where I could use these fresh and delicately soft buns. Introducing Barbecue Pork Sliders.
I had some leftover pork loin in the fridge from my previous rendezvous in the kitchen, when I made Balsamic Roasted Pork Fillet. This leftover pork was perfect to use as my “pulled pork” filling. I also made barbecue sauce from scratch. Believe it.
I layered my buns with micro greens, pulled pork in barbecue sauce and corn.
These little Barbecue Pork Sliders are the perfect snack for a weekend in front of the tellie, enjoying some sports or simply snacking on these for a cocktail party – should go down well. Remember the bubbly! Enjoy!
I also had to test out my new macro lens…
Drool worthy stuff, right?
