Ingredients
- 1 1.65kg boneless pork shoulder joint, rind and skin removed, optional
- 1 tbsp of smoked paprika
- 100 ml of apple juice
- 1 tbsp of cornflour
- 2 tablespoons of dark brown muscovado sugar, or similar
Method
Step 1
Put the joint on a chopping board, remove the string, unroll the pork and pat dry with kitchen paper.Step 2
Mix the 2 teaspoons salt, sugar, and paprika together and rub half it thoroughly over the pork. Keep the other half for later. Roll the pork back up (there is no need to re-tie the string).Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan and brown the pork all over. Transfer the joint to a slow cooker, pour in the apple juice and cover with the lid. Cook on LOW for 8-9 hours, or until tender and ready to pull apart.Step 4
Remove the pork from the slow cooker (retain the meat juices), wrap in foil and leave to rest for 30 minutes.Step 5
As the pork relaxes, blend the cornflour with 1 tablespoon cold water. Add to the sauce in the slow cooker along with the remainder of the seasoning mix. Cook on HIGH for 20 minutes, until thickened slightly.Step 6
Shred the pork (with the cooking juices) into chunky pieces with 2 forks. Return the pulled pork to the sauce in the slow cooker and stir well.Step 7
Serve in bread rolls with coleslaw, potato wedges, corn on the cob, or however you like.
