Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

Coleslaw

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo, minced

  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from the can

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • 3 cups fresh shredded coleslaw mix

Pork

  • 1/3 cup fresh lime juice

  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup

  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste

  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika

  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic

  • 1 1/2 pounds shredded fully-cooked smoked pork

Sliders

  • 12 Hawaiian-style slider buns, such as Pepperidge Farm®

  • 12 slices smoked gouda

Directions

  • For slaw, combine mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, salt, and cilantro in the bowl of a blender or food processor. Pulse 4 or 5 times, scrape down the sides of the bowl, replace the lid, and puree until smooth. Toss with slaw mix and set aside.


  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a sheet pan with foil.


  • For pork, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine lime juice, honey, tomato paste, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne, pepper, coriander and garlic. Stir to combine. Add shredded pork and stir well. Heat on 50% power until warm, 2 to 3 minutes.


  • Meanwhile, place open buns on the prepared pan. Add a slice of smoked Gouda to the bottom half of each bun; trim any overhang, and add as a second layer of cheese. 


  • Bake buns in the preheated oven until cheese has begun to melt, 3 to 5 minutes.


  • Remove from the oven and place 2 tablespoons pork mixture on top of cheese. Add slaw to taste on each slider, and cover with top half of bun. Serve immediately.
