If America had a sig-nature dish, it mightjust be the pulled

pork sandwich. This time-less favorite has alreadycaptured our hearts – soisn’t it time to discovernew favorites? Offeringample leftovers and deli-cious versatility, pulledpork is finally getting anew look and goingbeyond the bun.

New takes on pulledpork will revitalize andadd a flavorful dose ofcreativity to family meal-time. Once the pulled pork is prepared, it can beenjoyed throughout the week in so many ways — witheffortless wraps, salads, pizzas, vibrant tacos and more.

Wake up your everyday dinner routine with thesemouthwatering ideas from the National Pork Board:

• Pulled Pork Wrap: For an easy lunch, combinepulled pork, chopped romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheeseand Caesar dressing in a flour tortilla. If enjoying athome, warm the wrap in a sandwich press or skillet fora restaurant-quality touch.

• Pulled Pork Fried Rice: Put down that Chinesetake-out menu! Fried rice is a great way to use up left-over protein, rice and veggies. In this flavorful stir-fry,classic Americana meets Asia with a combination ofwhite or brown rice, pulled pork, diced vegies and alightly beaten egg.

• BBQ Pulled PorkPizza: Think past your basicpizza night with this sweetand savory take: top store-bought pizza dough withbarbecue sauce, your favoritecheese, pulled pork andsliced green onions. Bake onhigh heat until the cheese ismelted and the crust is gold-en brown.

• Pulled PorkScramble: Pulled pork forbreakfast? Absolutely. Addleftover pulled pork to ascramble of eggs, onions, bellpeppers and cheese. Servedalongside sliced tomatoesand buttered toast, it’ll feeljust like Sunday brunch —even on a Monday night.

To prepare perfectpulled pork, followthese simple tips fromthe National PorkBoard:

• The Cuts: Thebest roasts for prepar-ing pulled pork includethe hearty, succulentBoston Blade Roast(also known as theBoston Butt), whichcomes from the porkshoulder, and the lean-er, flavorful pork sir-loin roast, from thelower end of the loin.

• TheTemperature: For fall-apart pork, your best tools arepatience and indirect heat. If preparing the roast in theoven or on the grill, the ideal “low and slow” prepara-tion calls for temperatures between 250 and 300°F, for 1to 1 1/2 hours per pound. In a slow cooker, heat porkfor 6 to 8 hours on low or 4 to 5 hours on high.

• The Pull: When finished cooking, remove fromheat and let sit, covered in foil, for 10 to 15 minutes.“Pull” or shred meat with two large forks, and place in alarge baking dish or pan. Discard any remaining fat,drizzle with sauce if desired, and serve.
