Pulled Pork Barbecue

 


Ingredients:
1 chipotle pepper (wear rubber gloves 
   when handling; see note)
1 pork tenderloin (12 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2/3 teaspoon ground red pepper
2/3 cup diced onions
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup reduced sodium barbecue sauce
1/4 cup reduced sodium ketchup
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon maple syrup
4 sandwich buns

Instructions:
Place the chipotle pepper in a small bowl; cover with hot water and let stand for 5 minutes. Drain; remove the stems and seeds. Coarsely chop the chipotle. Set aside.
In a nonstick frying pan over high heat, sear the whole tenderloin on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and season with the black pepper and red pepper.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the onions and the oil and cook for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the barbecue sauce, ketchup, water, maple syrup and the chipotle. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
Place the tenderloin on a triple layer of aluminum foil and top with one third of the sauce. Wrap well and bake at 350 degree's for 25 minutes.
Shred the pork using 2 forks. Add the "pulled" pork to the remaining sauce and heat through. Serve on the buns

Chef's Note: Chipotle peppers are smoked and tried jalapenos. There is no substitute for the flavor they add, but a fresh serrano or jalapeno can add "heat".
