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

  • 1 kg pork shoulder boneless
