PULLED PORK PREP RECIPES

Steps:

• Mix together 2 tsp each smoked paprika, ground cumin, pepper, and brown sugar, plus 1 tsp salt. Rub over the 2.5kg boneless shoulder of pork.
• Put the pork in a big casserole dish, skin-side up, and pour in 2 medium mugfuls of cider.
• Cover with a lid and cook in the oven at 150C/130C fan/gas 2 for anywhere between 4 and 8 hrs until falling apart. Check every few hours in case it gets dry – if it does, add another mugful of cider.
• Take it out of the oven and put the meat in a big dish, leaving the liquid in the casserole.
• Cut the skin off, then shred the meat using two forks. Ditch any fatty bits, and skim any excess fat off the surface of the sauce.
• Add a mugful of a good smoky BBQ sauce to the casserole, mix it in, then ladle some into a bowl for dipping.
• Put the pulled pork back in the casserole with the juices so it stays moist. Season to taste. Can be made one day ahead.
• Serve in soft white rolls with coleslaw and the bowl of juices on the side for ‘French dipping’ the sandwich while you’re eating.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 F. Place both tenderloins in 9x13 glass dish. Rub salt, pepper, and paprika all over each tenderloin.
• Combine apple cider vinegar, water, red pepper flakes, and brown sugar in small sauce pan. Bring to a boil and then turn down to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Baste tenderloins with mixture.
• Cover dish holding the tenderloin tightly with foil and cook in the oven for 2.5-3 hrs or until meat falls apart easily using a fork. Baste with vinegar mix every 30 minutes during cooking.
• Shred with forks and serve immediately on honey hamburger buns with BBQ sauce. Enjoy!
