Last week I was looking for the best pulled pork recipe out there but had no luck in finding one, so I decided to wing it and man was I glad. I somehow managed to create a stonking rub for the meat, I'll have no need to look elsewhere for a recipe as this is now my go to.
Ingredients
Pork shoulder (with or without the bone)
30g paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon caster sugar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic granules
1 teaspoon cayenne
240ml water
240ml cider vinegar
BBQ sauce (I use Newman's Own)
Method
Mix the dry ingredients together.
Rub all over the pork making sure to get into any crevices in the meat.
Pour the water and vinegar into a slow cooker.
Place the pork into the slow cooker.
Cook for eight hours on low.
Once done remove the meat to a cutting board, drain off around 240ml of fluid from the cooker and set aside.
Pull/fork apart the meat and put back into the cooker, pour in the fluid as well as as much BBQ sauce as you like to taste.
Serve in your favourite way, in a bun, in tacos or quesadillas, sweet potato or my current favourite: on top of mac n cheese (recipe coming soon).
