Lime Chipotle Pulled Pork with Chipotle Mustard Potatoes

Recently, I was contacted by Saucy Mama about entering a recipe in a cooking contest they are hosting. Other than the Foodie Joust & Iron Cupcake, I've never entered a recipe in a cooking contest so I thought why not plus there were some great prizes including a Kindle. They sent me a lovely assortment of their marinades, dressings & sauces to play with. I have to say we were impressed to see the ingredients in all of there products, it was all things we recognized instead of a bunch of chemicals. We were most drawn to the Lime Chipotle Marinade & it made me think of the Caribbean & then I thought of pork...pulled pork.
#207 - Chipotle Lime Pulled Pork
Saucy Mama was looking for recipes that were quick & easy for a family to prepare. Well, you can't get much easier than cooking in a crock pot. Throw everything in, walk away & hours later dinner is done. As for quick the hands on time on this recipe is no more than 10 minutes.
Chipotle Lime Pulled Pork
This made for such a tasty sandwich! Just a hint of spice (the perfect amount for a wimp like me) & a freshness from the lime. The meat was super juicy. I liked mine just plain on a roll while Matt topped his with some coleslaw & a slather of Saucy Mama's Chipotle Mustard for an extra kick. For a quick side dish we roasted some potatoes with the Chipotle Mustard. They got crispy & had a gorgeous color. Everything was served up with some steamed beans for a really easy statisfying meal.

Want to try making this dish yourself? Well I have four bottles of Saucy Mama's Lime Chipotle Marinade to give away. Leave a comment on this post & I'll pick four random winners on Thursday, August 13th. Please leave your email address in your comment so I can contact you. if you win! Sorry, I can only ship to the US and Canada.

Pulled pork...one of foods best gifts to the belly. I could eat 3 of these sandwiches (then wear elastic pants).

Rose said...

Oooh, I could have used this recipe and the sauce yesterday! We had chopped pork sandwiches and roasted potato salad with mustard dressing.

Jessie said...

Yum! I love a good pulled pork sandwich any day of the week.

Mhhmmm... lime & chipotle... some of my favorite flavors! the meal sounds delicious!

DLAOKC said...

Lime and chipotle is a killer combination...

Unknown said...

Yum! This looks so good. I tend to use the crock pot more in the fall/winter, but I should use it more this time of year because it doesn't heat up the kitchen, and you still get those wonderful aromas.

Kim M said...

Sounds fabulous!

grace said...

it seems that i'm currently obsessed with lime, and this is a truly unique and fantastic application for it! the pig looks excellent, and the taters ain't too shabby either!

Rebecca J said...

What an easy and delicious sandwich! I agree that pulled pork is one of those miracle dishes that always tastes good without much effort.

Jude said...

Hey Kathie--We don't get Saucy Mama here in the boondocks of Florida--use crockpot a lot and would love to try your recipe. I could even pick it up when I come to Minneapolis and save you the postage. Judy

David J. Whelan said...

I like! Must try! And, by try, I mean ask my wife to try. Or maybe I can surprise her....

Lori said...

That marinade sounds like a winner and the sandwiches couldn't look better. I love pulled pork like that, nice and lean. Glad to hear about those ingredients. I will keep my eye out for this one. Just caught those Milan cookies as well. Those may be making an appearance on my Christmas cookie list this year. Yum!

A great spin on pulled pork and I love adding slaw to mine as well.

Beth (jamandcream) said...

Yum. I'll have to try and find some of that marinade!

Christina Kim said...

I really need a crock-pot! There is nothing like a good moist pulled pork, and what could be better than pulled pork with a spicy southwestern-y kick!

Mary D. said...

Love this great way to make the pork!

Jeff said...

Pulled pork....drooll....first thing I thought of when I read lime and chipotle was damn great combo for pulled pork.
