My Sunday mornings and the best pulled pork ever!

I love Sunday’s, I love the slow pace and the dreamy coffee smell. I love watching cooking shows on TV, Reading the latest Cath Kidston Catalogue, lighting candles and slowly eating some over night oats in a kilner jar.

One of the loveliest things is choosing what to have for Sunday dinner, A roast?, Pasta?, Pulled pork?, Definitely comfort food.

Pulled pork is a great meal to cook on a Sunday as its really easy and very yummy. My favourite pulled pork recipe is from the chef Simon Rimmer. Its Pulled pork with spicy coleslaw and it is perfect.

Ingredients

For the pulled pork

oil, for greasing
2kg/4lb 6½oz pork shoulder
1 tbsp chilli flakes
1 tbsp whole grain mustard
salt and freshly ground black pepper
200ml/7¼fl oz white wine vinegar
250ml/9fl oz cider
3 onions, finely sliced
6 cloves garlic, sliced

For the coleslaw

half white cabbage, finely chopped
2 carrots, grated
2 red onions, finely sliced
1 red chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped
175g/6oz mayonnaise
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lime, juice only
1 tbsp soy sauce

To serve

soft white bread rolls
ready-made barbecue sauce

Method

Preheat the oven to 170C/340F/Gas 3.
For the pulled pork, oil a baking tray and place the pork shoulder on top. Mix together the chilli, mustard and salt and freshly ground black pepper, then rub the mixture into the pork shoulder.
Pour the vinegar and cider over, then scatter over the onion and garlic.
Cover with parchment paper, then wrap in foil and place into the oven to roast for three hours. Remove the parchment and foil, then roast for another hour.
‘Pull’ the pork by sticking a fork in the shoulder and shredding the meat into small pieces with another fork.
For the coleslaw, in a separate bowl, mix together all of the coleslaw ingredients until well combined.
To serve, pile the pulled pork shoulder on a serving plate and spoon the coleslaw next to it. Serve with soft white rolls and barbecue sauce to taste.
