Pulled Pork Sides Tips and Tricks
- Balance the flavors: Pulled pork is often rich and savory, so pairing it with a side dish that has a bright, acidic, or fresh flavor can help balance the dish and make it more enjoyable. Examples of side dishes that work well include coleslaw, pickled vegetables, or a tangy citrus-based salad.
- Consider the texture: Pulled pork is typically tender and juicy, so pairing it with side dishes that have a different texture can help create a more interesting and satisfying eating experience. For example, you might pair pulled pork with crispy roasted vegetables, creamy mashed potatoes, or fluffy rice.
- Keep it simple: While it can be tempting to create elaborate side dishes to go with your pulled pork, sometimes simplicity is best. Simple side dishes like baked beans, corn on the cob, or garlic bread can be easy to make and complement the flavors of the pulled pork without overwhelming them.
- Don’t forget the sauce: Pulled pork is often served with a flavorful barbecue sauce, but you can also pair it with other sauces that complement its flavors. For example, you might serve pulled pork with a tangy mustard sauce, a spicy salsa, or a cooling yogurt-based dip.
- Plan for leftovers: Pulled pork is a great dish to make in large batches and enjoy throughout the week. When planning your side dishes, consider making extras that can be reheated and enjoyed alongside your leftovers. This will help ensure that your meals are varied and satisfying, even if you’re eating the same main dish multiple times.
