                                Ingredients
For the red cabbage slaw
- 1/2 medium red cabbage
 - 2 carrots , peeled
 - 1 small firm apple (optional)
 - 1-2 tbsp red wine vinegar
 - 1 tbsp runny honey
 - 1/2 tbsp light olive oil (or mayonnaise - see method)
 - pinch chilli flakes
 - salt and pepper to taste
 
For the pulled pork
- 900 g | 2lbs pork shoulder
 - 400 g | 14oz can of crushed pineapple in natural juice
 - 2 onions , peeled and roughly chopped
 - 3 garlic cloves , crushed
 - 1 bell pepper (any colour), roughly chopped
 - 2 red chillies , deseeded and roughly chopped
 - 80 ml / 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce or teriyaki sauce
 - 3 tbsp ketchup
 - 3 tbsp honey
 - 2 tbsp dark brown sugar
 - 2 tsp vegetable oil
 - 2 tsp cider vinegar
 - 2 tsp Dijon mustard
 - Juice of half a lemon
 - 1 tsp tabasco
 - Salt and freshly ground pepper
 - 2 tsp cornflour (cornstarch) diluted in a little cold water
 
Instructions
- Add chopped vegetables and pineapple (reserve the juice) in the slow cooker.
 - Season the pork with salt and pepper and nestle among the other ingredients fat side up.
 - Mix together the soy sauce, pineapple juice, ketchup, honey, brown sugar, oil, vinegar, mustard, lemon juice and Tabasco and pour over the pork.
 - 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.
 - 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.
 - Serve on brioche buns topped with the red cabbage slow.
 
Make the red cabbage slaw
- Shred the cabbage, carrots and apple in a food processor or grate them with a box grater.
 - Place in a bowl together with the remaining ingredients and toss together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
 - 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.
