Hi everyone and welcome back to my channel.
Today I’m sharing with you how to make pulled pork, it’s a great slow cooker recipe so
perfect for colder months.
The pork is slow cooked, shredded then coated in BBQ sauce.
You can use this pork in many dishes but it perfect served in a bun and topped with some
coleslaw.
So if you would like to learn how to make this pulled pork then let’s get started.
The pork will take about 8-10 hours to cook either in a slow cooker or in an oven so make
sure you get started with this in the morning.
Start by peeling and slicing two brown onions.
This recipe just uses the onions to flavour the pork, but if you would like to mix them
in with the shredded pork just slice them up a little thinner.
Place the sliced onions into the slow cooker or into a large oven dish that has a lid.
Cut the end off about three cloves of garlic and crush them using the back of a knife.
Crushing the garlic makes peeling much easier, it should just fall off.
Place the garlic cloves in the slow cooker with the onions.
The pork I’m using for the recipe is pork shoulder with the bone in but you can also
use pork leg with bone in.
Pork leg has a little less fat so it can turn out a little drier so just keep that in mind.
Your pork will most likely have a thick layer of fat, I’ve just trimmed mine off.
You can do this before cooking the pork or after, it’s up to you.
To flavour the pork we’re going to make a rub out of a few spices.
In a small bowl combine some brown sugar, chilli powder, cumin, and salt.
Use a spoon and mix the ingredients together until they are well combined.
Pour the spice rub over the pork and press it in using your hands.
Turn the pork around to coat it all evenly.
Once you’ve used all of the spice rub transfer the pork into the slow cooker on top of the
onions and garlic.
Pork shoulder or pork leg is quite a tough cut of meat which is why it needs to be slow
cooked for many hours.
To stop the meat drying out we’re going to add some stock to braise the pork so it
cooks a humid environment.
I’m using chicken stock but you could use vegetable stock, water, or any other type
of liquid you would like.
The liquid needs to come up about a third to half way on the pork, I used about two
cups.
After adding you stock it’s time to turn the slow cooker on, or place it into the oven
and forget about it for 8-10 hours while it slow cooks.
After 8-10 hours the pork should be very easy to pull apart, you can test this by just pulling
at it with a fork if you are not sure.
Transfer the cooked pork onto a chopping board and start to pull it apart.
I find it easier to cut a small amount off and work on that first.
To pull the pork use two forks and pull them away from each other.
The pork should pull apart easily.
Continue this process until you have pulled apart all of the pork, leaving the bone remaining.
Once you have pulled apart all of the pork transfer it into an oven dish.
I am using a store bough bbq sauce to coat the pork but if you would like to you make
your own I will leave a recipe in the information box.
Use spoon to mix the the pork together until everything is well coated.
Place the pulled pork in the oven for about 10-15 minutes to heat through the sauce.
You can serve this pulled pork in many different ways but I’m serving it in buns.
Just slice a few buns in half, top with the pulled pork and some coleslaw and place on
the top.
If you give this pulled pork a go make sure to leave a comment letting me know and also
send my a picture on my social media.
