Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, smoked paprika, sugar substitute, onion powder, and garlic powder together. Rub the pork tenderloins with the spice mixture.

In a slow cooker, add the seasoned pork, onion, light apple juice, and apple cider vinegar. Cover and cook on high for 4 to 4-1/2 hours. Shred the pork in the slow cooker using 2 forks. Add the barbeque sauce, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and scallions. Let it cook for an additional 30 minutes and allow the sauce to thicken.

In a large bowl, whisk together the mayo, sugar substitute, cider vinegar, celery seed, Creole seasoning, and black pepper. Add the cabbages, carrots, and scallions. Toss well to combine and serve the finished slaw on top of the pulled pork in a whole wheat bun or as a side.
