Pulled Pork, Chipotle Slaw

Melt in the mouth, six-hour pulled pork and chipotle slaw is a marriage made in heaven!

Providing you have time to play with, pulled pork is one of the easiest and most satisfying dishes you can cook. Whilst some swear by using a bone in joint of pork shoulder, a boneless shoulder of pork works just as well and is much easier to cook and get ahold of –  a piece from towards the neck gives the best results.

Time and temperature is the key to great pulled pork, get that right and this makes a superb change from the traditional sunday roast!

Method:

1) Pre-heat the oven to 220c. Rub the pork with the salt, pepper, paprika and oregano – massaging into the meat. Place the garlic cloves on a roasting tray and place the shoulder on top. Place in the oven and roast at 220c for 20 minutes.

2) Turn the oven down to 150c and roast for 3 hours. Turn the oven down to 130c and roast for a further 2 hours. Turn the oven down to 110c and roast for a final 1 hour.

3) Meanwhile, make the slaw by combining all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mixing with a fork until fully combined. Cover and store in the fridge until ready to serve.

4) Remove the pork from the oven and pull gently with two forks – continue until you have pulled the entire shoulder. Serve with the chipotle slaw in bread rolls.
