Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork
• 2 tbsp Smoky Spice Blend (see recipe below)
• 6 brioche bun halves
• 2 cups Sweet and Tangy Slaw (recipe below) Smoky Spice Blend:
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp ground coriander
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste Sweet and Tangy Slaw:
• 2 cups shredded cabbage
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp sugar
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill or outdoor cooker to medium heat (about 350°F).
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork and Smoky Spice Blend. Mix well and shape into 12 small patties.
3. Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook for 6 7 minutes per side or until cooked through. The sizzle of the meat hitting the grates will fill the air as a crowd gathers to savor the aroma of smoked spices.
4. While the pork is cooking, prepare the Sweet and Tangy Slaw by combining the shredded cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss until evenly coated.
5. Once the pork sliders are cooked, place them on the bottom halves of the brioche buns. Top each slider with a generous scoop of Sweet and Tangy Slaw and place the top half of the bun over the slaw.
6. Serve immediately, enjoying the warmth of a festival crowd in every delicious bite.
