Hairy Bikers’ Pulled Pork is a slow-cooked pork dish made using pork shoulder, seasoned with a flavorful spice rub, and cooked until the meat is tender enough to be easily shredded. It’s often paired with a tangy barbecue sauce and is perfect for serving in sandwiches, tacos, or with coleslaw and potatoes.

Ingredients

  • Turkey pork shoulder: 1.5-2 kg (bone-in or boneless), ideal for pulled pork.
  • Brown sugar: 2 tablespoons, to add a hint of sweetness to the rub.
  • Smoked paprika: 2 teaspoons, for smoky flavor.
  • Ground cumin: 1 teaspoon, to add depth to the spice rub.
  • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon, for a subtle garlic flavor.
  • Cayenne pepper: ½ teaspoon, for a bit of heat (optional).
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon, to season the pork.
  • Black pepper: 1 teaspoon, for added flavor.
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons, to help the rub stick to the pork.
  • Barbecue sauce: 200ml, for serving or tossing the pulled pork.
  • Apple cider vinegar: 2 tablespoons, to balance the richness of the pork.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pork

  1. Make the Spice Rub: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
  2. Rub the Pork: Coat the pork shoulder with olive oil, then rub the spice mixture all over the meat, making sure to cover every part.

2. Slow Cook the Pork

  1. Preheat the Slow Cooker or Oven: Set your slow cooker to low, or preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
  2. Cook the Pork: Place the seasoned pork shoulder into the slow cooker or a roasting pan. Cook on low for 6-8 hours (or in the oven for the same amount of time), until the pork is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.

3. Shred the Pork and Add Sauce

  1. Shred the Pork: Once the pork is done, remove it from the slow cooker or oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Using two forks, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Add the Barbecue Sauce: Toss the shredded pork with the barbecue sauce and apple cider vinegar, mixing well to coat the meat. For a crispy texture, spread the pork on a baking tray and place it under the broiler for 5-10 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.

4. Serve

  1. Serve the Pulled Pork: Serve the pulled pork in soft buns, with coleslaw, or alongside your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or potatoes.
