Pulled pork recipe
Made pulled pork a couple of times. Freestyled a bit. No expert here, but result was yummie.
Grind/blend spices
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoons whole pepper corn mix
- 2 teaspoons chilly flakes
If spices are whole, grind or blend them. Set aside.
Optionally: Substitute 1 teaspoon of paprika with chipotle pepper.
Mix into a paste
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon of dijon mustard
Mix the honey, mustard, and previous spices into a paste.
Rub the mix in
Rub mix thoroughly into the pork shoulder.
Bake (1 hour)
Place in a pot (lid off) and bake in the oven for 1 hour at 200 °C.
Add liquids
- 1/2 cup of water.
- 4 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.
Add liquids to pot.
Bake (3-5 hours)
Bake between 3 to 5 hours 150 °C. Check every hour or two. Does the meat fall easily when spread with two forks? If so, you're done.
Pull apart
Use two forks to pull the meat apart.
