Pulled Pork Runza
My version of the Nebraska staple with a barbecue twist. I used smoked pulled pork and pizza dough. Definitely not the traditional way, but way more flavorful! Ladies and gents - The Pulled Pork Runza!
Ingredients:
1 pound smoked pulled pork, shredded
1 large onion, finely chopped
1/4 head of cabbage, shredded
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper to taste
1 package premade pizza dough
1 egg, beaten (optional for egg wash)
Instructions:
Prepare the Filling:
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Add chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent.
Add shredded cabbage and cook until slightly wilted, about 5-7 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in shredded pulled pork.
Assemble the Runzas:
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface.
Cut the dough into 4-6 equal squares or circles.
Place a generous spoonful of the pulled pork and cabbage mixture in the center of each dough piece.
Fold the dough over the filling to form a square or circle, sealing the edges tightly with your fingers or a fork.
If using, brush the tops of the Runzas with beaten egg.
Smoke the Runzas:
Place the Runzas on the smoker grates.
Smoke at 375°F for 20 minutes.
Check for doneness after 20 minutes. The Runzas should be golden brown and cooked through.
Total cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the Runzas.
