Instructions

  1. Add chopped vegetables and pineapple (reserve the juice) in the slow cooker.
  2. Season the pork with salt and pepper and nestle among the other ingredients fat side up.
  3. Mix together the soy sauce, pineapple juice, ketchup, honey, brown sugar, oil, vinegar, mustard, lemon juice and Tabasco and pour over the pork.
  4. Cook on the low setting 6-8 hours (overnight is fine). Remove the pork from the slow cooker, discard the fat and shred using two forks. Cover and set aside.
  5. Strain contents of the slow cooker into a pot and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and add the cornflour. Leave the sauce to simmer away until slightly thickened then pour most of it over the pork.
  6. Serve on brioche buns topped with the red cabbage slow.

Make the red cabbage slaw

  1. Shred the cabbage, carrots and apple in a food processor or grate them with a box grater.
  2. Place in a bowl together with the remaining ingredients and toss together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. If you prefer your slaw with mayonnaise then skip the olive oil and add a few tablespoons of light mayo instead.

Notes

  • If you would like to remove the fat from the juices then place in a container and put in the fridge for a few hours. The fat will solidify and you can skim it off.
