Pulled Pork Sliders
Ingredients
2kg pork shoulder, cut into 4 pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Filtered water or reduced salt chicken stock, for cooking
Mini brioche buns or mini burger buns, split, toasted, to serve
Method
Rub reserved spice mixture all over pork. Wrap in plastic food wrap. Place in fridge to marinate for 4 hours, or overnight
Remove pork from the fridge and allow to stand for 30 minutes to bring back to room temperature
Heat oil in a large, heavy based frying pan over high heat. Cook pork for 3 – 4 minutes each side or until well browned. Transfer pork to slow cooker pan. Cover with just enough water, or stock, to come ½ way up to the pork. Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 – 5 hours or LOW for 8 – 10 hours or until pork is tender
Transfer pork to a large ceramic or glass dish. Using 2 forks, shred the pork. Strain pan juices from slow cooker, reserving 1⁄3 cup. Add reserved pan juices to pork to ease shredding and moisten the meat. Add ¾ cup of BBQ sauce; stir until combined
Sandwich mayonnaise, jalapenos, pork, dill pickles, baby spinach and a little extra BBQ sauce between buns and serve
Tips & Hints
Instead of using a slow cooker in step 6 cook pork in a pressure cooker for 45 minutes
