Pulled pork recipe

If ever you needed and excuse to buy a slow cooker - this is it.

- Serves 4

- Syn free!

- Love me and leave me - 8-10 hours slow cooking time

Ingredients

• 1.5-2kg pork shoulder, all fat removed

• 5 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tsp mustard powder

• 500g passata

• 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar

• 2 cloves of garlic, crushed (I use lazy garlic sometimes, works just as well)

• 3 tbsp sweetener

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

1. In a small bowl, mix passata, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, mustard powder, garlic, sweetener and seasoning. Transfer to a small pan and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.

2. Trim and remove all the fat from the pork and sear all sides in a hot frying pan. Some slow cookers have removable pans which you can use and save on the washing up!

3. Transfer to a slow cooker (if you used a frying pan) and coat with the sauce and cook for 8-12 hours on LOW.

4. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and place on a chopping board or plate. Allow the meat to cool for approximately 15 minutes, then shred into bite-sized pieces using two forks.

5. Remove the sauce from the pan and set aside to drizzle on the meat later.

This recipe will easily last you for a few meals. Why not try -
