Delicious Pulled Pork Crostini Recipe

These crostini are made with slow-cooked pulled pork, which is then piled high on toasted bread and finished with a drizzle of peach BBQ sauce and a sprinkle of pickled onions. This recipe serves approximately 6-8 people and can be prepared in about 2 hours, including cooking time.

Ingredients

• 1 pound pork shoulder
• 1 cup peach BBQ sauce
• 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pickled Onions: In a small bowl, combine the sliced red onion, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to pickle.
2. Cook the Pork: Season the pork shoulder with salt and pepper. Place it in a slow cooker and cover with half of the peach BBQ sauce. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.
3. Shred the Pork: Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Mix in the remaining peach BBQ sauce to coat the pork evenly.
4. Toast the Baguette: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Assemble the Crostini: Top each toasted baguette slice with a generous amount of pulled pork, a drizzle of peach BBQ sauce, and a few pickled onions.
6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
