Submitted by adopt a greyhound

"Bobby Flay's guest Jamie Watson offers a speedy version of the classic pork sandwich with cole slaw, piled high on his inventive cornbread flatbread. I saw this on Food Network and had to try it. It is great. Took me longer than stated, but very good."

Punch the dough down again and roll into a ball, then let rest for 30 to 60 minutes.
3. Heat grill to medium.

5. For the BBQ Sauce:.
6. Coat a large saute pan with oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, jalapeno, and the powders. Briefly saute and then stir in all the remaining ingredients. Bring to boil and immediately reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 30 to 45 minutes. Cool and puree in a blender. Set aside.

Where do I start?? This flatbread is AMAZING!! It’s my new favorite. I made individual flatbreads. I didn’t bother coating the dough with oil. I just rolled out & grilled on my stove griddle. About 2 min per side on medium heat. It made about 8. The flatbread is a KEEPER! The BBQ Sauce is amazing. Went very well with this. It makes a lot. I’d cut it in half next time. Didn’t bother getting out my blender. Just used my immersion blender. The slaw!! Wow. We loved it. I did leave out the celery seed as I don’t like. I think the slaw sauce would be wicked in a potato salad or even a pasta salad! Or good for dipping any bbq meat in! The pork. I didn’t use pork steak. We smoked a pork loin for this & used the rub. Derish!! Now the truth of it all put together! Wow wow. Get a bib & be prepared to take a nap after eating. There’s nothing bad about this recipe.
