milbran220 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 So I made some delicious nomnompaleo's Slow Cooker Kalua Pig yesterday. It smelled amazing. I am looking for ideas to what to serve with it tonight. ColeSlaw would be the "suthern" thing to do (my family is from North Carolina) I am not opposed to some sort of wrap-device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennR Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Oh, my God. Anything! Kalua pig salad. Kalua pig omelette. (Having this again this morning.) Kalua pig with any side you can imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milbran220 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Oh, my God. Anything! I know! I feel like I'm kind of overwhelmed by choices at the moment! I'm ruling out the eggs though for the moment... just because we really like the Egg Foo Young and eat that regularly. (I am a big fan of eggs for dinner but just not too many days in a row) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milbran220 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 I think I'm going to try this: pulled pork avocado green leaf lettuce nori (for wraping) scallions jalepeno (sort of a take on Nomnompaleo's Tuna and Avocado wraps but with pork instead of tuna) This might also solve our "sushi" craving.

DanielleM Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 The first night, we usually just eat the pork with whatever vegetable sides sound good- mashed cauliflower, sautéed cabbage, roasted broccoli or cauliflower, brussels sprouts... The leftovers we use for the plantain nachos from Well Fed 2 with homemade guacamole and salsa, or tacos wrapped in lettuce. We also used a bit of leftover Kailua pork in Marinara sauce over spiraled sweet potato noodles- it turned out amazingly good for a thrown-together dinner. It's just great to have a whole lot of already-cooked delicious meat on hand for an easy meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABS32013 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I love nomnompaleo's Kalua Pig with her World's Best Braised Cabbage. The cabbage is cooked at lower heat for 2 hours and then finished at higher heat for ~ 15 minutes. I usually do the long cook on a day I'm working from home and then use the 15 minute higher heat part as the re-heat. If I have Kalua Pig, I just heat it in the same baking dish as the cabbage. Sprinkle a little balsamic vinegar and flaky sea salt on top...making me want this right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted May 15, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 15, 2014 I love pulled pork in a lettuce wrap with a little avocado, drizzled with lime and Sunshine Sauce from the Well Fed cookbook (Melissa Joulwan is a genius!).

AllyB Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 You gotta have some pickles with it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebe_J Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 With pork, I like kale, maybe a sweet potato with ghee, and a little homemade applesauce. Roasted cabbage is good, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milbran220 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Round two tonight. So Mike (my bf) should be forking up the pork this afternoon (put it in the slow cooker last night). I think we are doing zoodles and meatballs tonight (nomnompaleo) but I've run out of lunch stuff so I'm going to need to use the pulled pork for lunch tomorrow.... thinking of the cabbage... maybe I'll make "coleslaw" tonight.

Kmlynne Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I spiraled some cucumber (sweated it too) and added some blanched asparagus cut in small pieces. The I spooned Moroccan Dipping Sauce (Well Fed - or www.theclothesmakethegirl.com) over the veggies and the pork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassie C Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Try broccoli slaw with a creamy homemade-mayo-based-dressing if you want something comparable to cole slaw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mads Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Aw man, smother a sweet potato with that pork. It is the BEST THING. You can make an awesome Carolina-style sauce to go on it without any added sweeteners and your mouth will love you forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
