Pulled Pork Shoulder
Pulled Pork Shoulder
I have been making this pulled pork recipe for years! The best part about it (apart from the magnificent flavour) is that it’s foolproof. Throw it all in your slow cooker and off you go! If you don’t like it too spicy, leave out the jalapeños.Leftover pulled pork can be frozen or used to add to toasties, burritos, tacos or a Mexican rice salad bowl like the one pictured here. It’s so delicious!Makes about 3 cups shredded meat
Ingredients
- 1 kg pork shoulder boneless
- 1 teaspoon sea salt

- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1/3 cup adobo chilli sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Spice Rub
- 1 tablespoon oregano dried
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Season your pork shoulder well with the salt and pepper.
- For the spice rub: Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl and rub over the pork shoulder.
- Place the pork shoulder in your slow cooker. Add the onion, garlic, jalapeños (if using), chicken stock, adobo chilli sauce and brown sugar. Mix well and cook on high for 8 hours.
- When finished, shred the pork meat with a fork (don’t discard the juice) and mix well in the juice.
