Pulled Pork is American BBQ at it's best, but is easy to do in an oven as well if you follow our simple recipe. This can store in the fridge afterwards, and seems to keep getting better for days.
PREP TIME: 10 min COOK TIME: 6 hours
SERVES: 6
Ingredients
1.8kg Pork Shoulder Joint (skin on)
30g Kansas City Rib Rub or 30g Memphis Belle
20g Salt
50ml Barbecue Sauce
Directions
Prepare the pork joint the night before cooking by rubbing the meat with the spice rub. Make sure to get into all the nooks and crannies, but don't waste it on the skin, which will be being discarded
Rub the salt over the skin
Place in the middle of an oven at 145 ℃ for 5 hours
After 5 hours, remove the joint from the oven, peel off the skin, score the fat underneath with a knife and smother with barbecue sauce. Place back in the oven for a further hour, turning the temperature up to 190 ℃ for the final 15 minutes
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 20 minutes before shredding with forks
Pour over any juices from the cooking pan and mix thoroughly
Perfect for the festive cold months, irresistible when warm and gooey, but even better after a few days later when they get to their optimum texture - If they last that long!
