I am a sucker for sandwiches. On Pinterest of all my food pins my sandwich board has the most pins. I love the simplicity of a sandwich - breakfast, lunch or dinner you can make a sandwich a meal.
The sandwich is the perfect vessel for a meal on the go. I would make sandwiches to take to the high school football games, perfect for picnics and at home while you are watching TV.
I'm always ready to try something new and here is my take on a Southwestern Pulled Pork Sandwich. Made with prepared Green Chili Salsa and topped with mexican pickled vegetables. I hope you enjoy my Pulled Pork Green Chili Salsa Sandwich.

6 or 7 pound pork butt
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoons black pepper
4 tablespoons Fiesta Chili Seasonings
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 32 oz box vegetable stock unsalted
1 small onion, cut into 4 pieces
1 carrot, cut into 4 pieces
3 bay leaves
For Sandwiches
1 celery stalk, diced small
1/2 onion, diced small
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 cups shredded slow cooked pork
1 cup green chili salsa
4 onion buns (or your favorite buns or cuban rolls)

Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat; sauté celery and onion for 5 minutes or until tender. Turn up heat to a medium high and add pork cook until some of the pork is a little crispy, add green chili salsa and heat through. Divide green chili pork between the 4 buns top with the pickled cabbage and carrots, recipe follows.

With a 7 pound pork butt you will have leftovers, you can make more sandwiches just double the ingredients under For Sandwiches or make pork tacos, breakfast burritos, BBQ Pork Sandwiches, endless possibilities.
