Re- post from 2012 because its such a fabulous Purim party recipe!!!!
If you don’t already a copy of Robin Jemal’s new cookbook, then you are indeed missing out on one of the best gourmet kosher cookbooks that you could ever own. Robin’s hot off the press cookbook is chock full of easy to follow, brand new twists on our traditional but sometimes boring routine recipes. Recipes such as Rosemary Lemon Cornish Hens, Sliced Steak Pizza with Arugula Truffle Oil and Oven Dried Tomatoes, Panko Crusted Zucchinni Rollups with Eggplant Tomato Sauce, and Butternut Squash Ravioli are just some of the mouth watering recipes in this fabulous collection of soon to be your families’ favorites.
This past Shabbat Lunch I served my family these pulled brick roast sandwiches on homemade challah rolls, and I can’t tell you the excitement on the table as everyone gobbled them up.
Although I am not such a meat eater, I couldn’t help but snatch a couple of bites of this tender sandwich. It was delicious! I would suggest adding this recipe to your Purim menu, along with Robin’s recipe for Deboned Chicken and Baked French Fries. Sorry -You will have to buy the book for the chicken recipe!

Pat brick roast dry and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. In a roaster, add olive oil and let it heat up. Sear roast on both sides until nicely browned.
Sauce: In a large skillet, fry onions in oil for 6-8 minutes over medium heat, and season with salt and pepper. Add garlic and paprika. (Do not let garlic brown).

Remove brick roast from oven and coarsely shred the meat with two forks. Skim any excess fat off barbeque sauce and return meat back into sauce. Serve on mini slider rolls.
