Leftover Pork Roast
Do any of you have creative ideas for using a big of leftover pork roast?
Last night I served one and we ate all the crisp crackling skin, I then trimmed off the fat and rendered it for frying potatoes etc, but I have a big chunk of meat in the frig. Any wonderful ideas?

I immediately thought of sandwiches and stir fry type dishes.

Freeze it in portions, sliced if possible. Pork freezes well.
You can use it for sandwiches (possibilities: Monterey Jack cheese and thinly sliced apple; curry, mayo, and chutney; thinly sliced onion and bbq sauce), shred it with bbq sauce, serve it with mashed potatoes and gravy.
You can also use it to make either a Korean or Thai style omelette using the chopped up pork, chopped green onions, and the appropriate sauces.
Finally, you can use it to make one-bowl meals: potato, sauerkraut, onion, and apple; buttered egg noodles and braised cabbage.

Yep, a quick stirfry. This is how I whip up my leftover pork - add cooked brown rice, fried egg, spring onion, grated carrot, frozen peas, a dash of soy sauce and a good twist of cracked black pepper. Toss it all together in wok. High in protein, filling and delicious.

It's "fridge."
"Frig" means to jerk off.

I suppose it depends in what country you live but here a frig keeps things cold.

Shred it and add bbq sauce for pulled pork sandwiches. I did this the other week, it was good. I use Sweet Baby Rays.

So, OP.... You made a pork roast and then you and your associated other(s) ate the skin and left the meat?
That's interesting.

I'm saying OP misspelled a word, r7. Did you not get that or are you attempting little joke?

That's what I do, r9, but I use Stubb's.
Sometimes I'll make chalupas: ibput pinto beans, stock, green chiles and spices in a crock pot and let them cook, then for the last hour or two add the leftover pork ao it heats through, and shred before serving.
You can also slice the roast and freeze it in its juices and warm it all up in a low oven, but it always tastes leftover to me so I prefer BBQ pork.

Thanks but I can't abide that sweet tomato based BBQ sauce. I find it so disgusting.
I could not possibly put a tuna sauce on it, but cold with a sauce sounds like a good idea.

Rissoles. And I am unanimous in that.

Do you suggest the Australian, Turkish or French version of Rissoles?

Thanks, r19. In America (England, too?) we spell it "fridge."

It is indeed spelled fridge in the U.S. “Frig” looks like it would have a hard “g” to us. I always took “frig” to be a euphemism for “fuck,” not masturbation. That’s new to me.

Yes, "frigging" instead of "fucking."

Points for correct spelling R18. R8 must be making it with fermented soybeans. Could be quite tasty, who knows.

Pork Salad sandwiches
I will roast pork and turn the whole thing into pork salad. Think of ham salad but with pork. I think it is actually much better than ham salad. You can grind up the roast pork and freeze some of it if it makes too much and thaw and mix with other ingredients. I add hard boiled eggs, mayo, sweet relish, celery, pecans or walnuts. It is best served on Hawaiian Bread but any bread will do.

R25 for the win. I have Cilantro on the terrace and made some tortilla which are frozen. Pork tacos it is, since there is no decent Mexican in this town.

If you have some of the drippings left, make gravy and pour over open-face pork sandwich.

OP, Fake Chipotle Barbacoa
slow cooker recipe
Servings: 8
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar, 4 teaspoons minced garlic cloves, 4 teaspoons cumin, 2 teaspoons oregano, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1.5 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 3/4 cup chicken broth, 3 bay leaves, 3 tablespoons lime juice, 3 -4 chipotle chiles in adobo (1/2 teaspoon of chili powder = 1 chile), Your Meat
Brown the 3x3 inch chunks of your pork using the oil and then throw it into the slow cooker for a few hours.
If you were to use raw pork roast, you'd brown your meat and let the mess cook for 8-10 hours on low.
Use forks to shred.

Thanks r21, I didn't realize I knew it as old Middle English slang. It does mean to fuck, but "The original sense was ‘move restlessly, wriggle’, later ‘rub, chafe’, hence ‘masturbate’ (late 17th century)."
I probably picked up on it as a lit major, though I could have sworn Stephen King used the word in his books written in the 70s.

I almost got a big chunk in the frig last night but I already hooked up and I was tired. He was cute, though.

Oh, you're not getting away with that, OP/R39. Don't abuse poor R36.
Your original post clearly states what happened on the fateful night.
1. I served one (Ed. Note. "One" refers to pot roast.)
2. We ate all the crisp crackling skin
3. I then trimmed off the fat
4. and rendered it
NO WHERE does it indicate that any of the pork roast was consumed at this dinner.

Cuban sandwiches! Pork, sweet ham, Swiss cheese, mustard & pickles in baguette or French bread. Plus points if you have a sandwich press, panera, or even a toaster oven to make the fresh bread crispy and warm.
Tons of recipes/pics in the internet

A better looking Cuban Sandwich; the one I posted at r43 looks too burnt.

Oh and Chef John uses pulled pork. Forget that! Roast pork tastes much better and there’s no need for mayonnaise or butter.

Use it really the next day , as pork oxidizes quickly and gives it that off-taste. I am very finnicky about pork, but love it!

On Thursday I made two pizzas, one with leftover pork tenderloin, thinly sliced, also topped with caramelized red onions, parmesan cheese, chopped fresh spinach, and old cheddar.
The other pizza I topped with leftover meatloaf, crumbled, again with parmesan cheese, spinach and old cheddar.
Two deep dish 8" homemade pizzas, dinner and lunch for three days with a side of barley soup or salad.
