Nothing can go wrong when you use pulled pork in a dish. Nothing.
And this is no exception. I wanted to use leftover pulled pork (which freezes really well, by the way) without making the usual sandwich with slaw on a brioche bun.

I serve this dish at barbecues, especially if you have lots of people around, or to go with roasted meat or fish.
