Pulled Pork Recipe

Heard about this recipe at Slimming World and it is going to become a firm favourite.  Served it to Caroline and Mike whilst nursing Chloe with Chickenpox and Caroline with a sore throat, so very easy to do.  You can cook it in the oven and the glaze will go more sticky but I did mine in the slow cooker which kept the sauce more fluid.  Enjoy.

900 kg boneless pork roast
1 carton passata
5 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp mustard powder
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 tbsp brown sugar or sweetner if on a diet
black pepper

In a small bowl, mix tomate puree, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, mustard power, garlic and seasoning.  Transfer to a small pan and simmer for 15 minutes, or until sauce thickens.

Meanwhile, trim and remove all visible fat from the pork and sear all sides in a hot pan sprayed with fry light or olive oil.  Transfer to a roasting tin lined with aluminium foil and pour the sauce over the pork making sure all the meat is covered.  Cover with the foil and bake on 160 C for 4 - 5 hours or like me bung it in a slow cooker on low all day.

Remove the pork from the oven/slow cooker and place on a cutting board.  Allow the meat to cool for approximately 15 minutes, then shred into bite- sized pieces using two forks.

Serve with

Lettuce, Beetroot, Coleslaw (make your own with shredded cabbage, carrot and onion and fat free natural fromage frais and a pinch of mustard powder) and Chips (sin free, of course.)  Preheat oven to 220 C.  Cut potatoes into wedges, I like to leave the skins on.  Wash and dry thoroughly.  Line a baking tray with non-stick foil.  Place potatoes in tray and spray well with Fry Light.  Cook for approx. 30 mins.
