Pulled Pork

GF | DF | NF | RSF | EF

  • Oven
  • bowl
  • Spatula or Spoon
  • Spices
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • Forks
  • 1 TBSP   ghee or olive oil
  • 1  kg Pork neck or shoulder
  • 2 apples diced
  • 2 red onions, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 2 cups   bone broth
  • 1 TBSP  worcestershire sauce

Herb Crust:

  • (Measure with your heart!)
  • Garlic powder (use most)
  • Fennel seeds (sprinkle on top)
  • Nutmeg (small sprinkle)
  • Cinnamon (small sprinkle)

Optional:

  • 3 TBSP  quality BBQ sauce
  1.  Preheat oven to 140C

  2. Heat up a drizzle of olive oil or ghee in an oven proof casserole dish (around 4L) over a medium heat, then brown off your pork on both sides. Remove from the dish and allow it to rest in a bowl to the side.

  3. To the hot casserole dish, add the apple (skin on), garlic and onion and allow to caramelize and soften, stirring occasionally.

  4. Once the onion and apples are browned and softened, add the bone broth and Worcestershire sauce. Then add your pork and any resting juices back into the pot (the liquid should go about 2/3 of the way up the meat, allowing some of the meat to remain out of the liquid)

  5. Sprinkle the top of the pork with spices of your choice – I do this quite liberally to make a spice ‘crust’ – measure with your heart here!

  6.  Place the lid onto the pot, and pop in the oven for around 6 hours – until the meat is soft to touch and shreds easily.

  7. Once the meat is soft, shred it all up with two forks and fold it through the sauce.Optional – you can add around 3 TBSP of good quality BBQ sauce at this stage if you prefer a more barbeque flavour to your pork and stir through (you call pull babies portion out before this if you wish).

  8.  Turn the oven up to 180 C fan-forced and place the pot (with the pulled pork) back into the oven (with the lid off) for about an hour until the sauce has thickened, is caramelized and delicious!

Do you need to remove fat if using pork shoulder

February 20, 2024 at 12:00 am
Luka says:

not necessarily, depends how thick the fat is, its nice to leave a little bit, but if its really thick then yes i would remove some of it!

Madeline Smith says:

Yum! If using pork shoulder roast that is over 2kg, could I double the recipe? How much would I increase cook time?

March 18, 2024 at 5:42 am
Luka says:

yes, if you chop up the pork a bit you could do it in the same time or sometimes i pop it into two casserole dishes if i have a lot of meat!

Luka says:

Luka says:

i assume so, i havent tried a pressure cooker but i cant see why not!

Kate - Boob to Food says:

Either you could puree some of the meat with some of the liquid, or it is so soft that you can also shred it and serve it as finger food.

Jade Miller says:

Would this work with a pork loin? Thanks!

Yes that would be fine
