Johnna’s Pulled Pork Hoagies
The summer is obviously my favorite season of the year, I am the ultimate summer baby born in August. As the temperatures rise so does my number of lazy days in the kitchen. As much as I crave a good homemade meal, I want relaxation more, which is why I create the easiest recipes during the summer. Inspired by BBQ season, I try to include recipes in my repertoire that are easy to prep, finger-food friendly and full of flavor.
This summer, I am starting with hoagies, pulled pork hoagies to be exact. Hoagies are one of my favorite finger-foods because the possibilities are endless on what you can do with them. Serve them cold with your favorite deli meats or serve hot with your favorite meatballs. For the recipe below, I decided to go for the hot option and cut corners on prep but not flavor. Using Curly’s RoadTrip Eats West Coast Style Pulled Pork, I added on some homemade coleslaw and voila! Summer lunch made easy without me having to open up the grill.
