FIVE-VEGETABLE SLAW

BBQ Pork: Preheat the oven to 325F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the molasses, vinegar, tomato paste, garlic, cumin, cayenne, paprika, coriander, salt and pepper. Place the pork cubes and bay leaves in a large, shallow noncorrodible baking dish. Add the molasses mixture and stir well to coat. Cover with foil and bake until pork is very tender, about 1½ hours.

Remove the meat from the sauce and shred with a knife. Return the shredded meat to the baking dish and mix with the sauce.

Slice the buns in half. Spoon the pork onto the bottom halves of the buns and mound ½ cup or more of the vegetable slaw on top.

Cover with the bun tops and serve the remaining vegetable slaw on the side.

Five-Vegetable Slaw: In a large bowl, toss together the cabbage, red and green bell peppers, cucumber and scallions. Mix in the mayonnaise, vinegar, salt and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days before serving.
