Spicy bbq pulled pork

This was the first dish I made when I got my slow cooker and it went down very well with the family.  My son said “That’s the best burger I’ve ever had”.  This is also great for any party as the slow cooker can keep this warm. 

What goes well with this pulled pork?

I like to serve this pork in a brioche buns, with some salad and coleslaw and a few chips on the side.

Equipment

  • Slow cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • pork shoulder
  • 100 ml bbq sauce
  • 100 ml cider vinegar
  • 100 ml chicken stock
  • 50 g light brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp worcester sauce
  • 1 tbsp chilli powder
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1½ tsp dried thyme
  • 4 brioche buns

Instructions
 

  • Pour the vegetable oil into the bottom of the slow cooker and place the pork on top.
  • Pour in the BBQ sauce, cider vinegar, chicken stock, sugar, mustard, Worcester sauce, chilli powder, onion, garlic and thyme and stir, drizzling the sauce over the pork.  Occasionally drizzling the sauce over the pork whilst cooking.
  • Cover and cook on high until the pork sheds easily with a fork.  Depending on the size your pork, 0.7kgs cooks in 4 hours.
  • Remove from the slow cooker, reserving the remaining sauce in a separate bowl.  Shred using 2 forks.  Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker, stir in some of the reserved sauce – depending on how saucy you like.
  • In the meantime, split the buns in half and grill until slightly toasted.
  • Spoon the pork into the toasted buns and enjoy with coleslaw.
