Ingredients
- 2 kg (4lbs) pork shoulder
- 8 whole garlic cloves peeled
- 2 onions quartered
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tsp salt
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 3 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp dried oregano
For the BBQ sauce
- 1½ cups tomato ketchup
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- 6 tbsp red wine vinegar
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- salt to taste
For the coleslaw
- 6 cups shredded cabbage (approximately 1 medium cabbage)
- 2 cups shredded carrots (approximately 2 large carrots)
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2-3 tsp honey (optional)
- salt to taste
To serve
- Fresh bread rolls halved and toasted
- Pickles (optional)
- fresh rocket/arugula (optional)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 160°c/320°F.
- Drizzle the pork shoulder with the olive oil. Combine the seasoning in a small bowl and sprinkle the spice blend over the pork.
- Rub into the meat then place in a large roasting dish or Dutch Oven along with the onions and garlic then cover with foil or a lid.
- Place in the oven and allow to roast for 3 hours until the pork pulls apart easily.
- You can cook the pork in a slow cooker too on the low setting for 8-10 hours until tender.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before pulling the meat with two forks or use your stand mixer with the paddle attachment to pull a lot of pork or chicken quickly. Reserve any of the liquid from the pork, adding a half cup of this to the barbecue sauce will add incredible flavor
- To make the barbecue sauce, combine all the ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes until the sugar has dissolved.
- Combine the pulled pork with the barbecue sauce and set aside.
- To make the coleslaw, combine the grated carrot, cabbage and parsley in a bowl. Mix together the mayo, yoghurt, lemon juice and salt. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss. If you want it sweeter, add honey.
- To serve, place a few spoonfuls of pulled pork into a buttered bread roll, top with coleslaw and rocket/arugula (if using) and eat immediately.
