Minced pork Sloppy Joes
'Obviously minced beef is the normal filling for a Sloppy Joe, but with all that ketchup and barbecue sauce, I challenge anyone to tell the difference. I have to confess to not really 'getting' these loose, wet meat sandwiches; when my son, Harry, went through a Subway meatball and sauce phase, I threatened to disown him. My lack of enthusiasm comes partly from a disastrous experience with a Bunny Chow (Durban chicken curry in a hollowed out loaf of bread).' (Ben Watson)
Ingredients
- 500g minced pork
- ½ large green pepper, diced
- ½ large onion, diced
- 100ml tomato ketchup
- 100ml bottled barbecue sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- ½ tsp mustard powder
- Tabasco sauce, to taste
- 4 burger buns, to serve
- salted crisps and gherkins, to serve
Method
-
Step 1
Brown the mince in a large frying pan and drain off any excess fat.
-
Step 2
Add all of the other ingredients up to and including the mustard, then cover and simmer over a low heat for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavours to mix.
-
Step 3
Add Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper to taste, then spoon on to the buns.
-
Step 4
Apparently you should serve with salted crisps and a dill pickle but either way, tuck in your bib.
