Bright citrus, fragrant herbs and slow-cooked pork make this an easy winter winner. It takes just minutes to prep, then the slow cooker does all the work, leaving you with tender, juicy pork that’s perfect with golden chips.
Herby Citrus Pulled Pork
Serves 6
8 hrs
What do I need?
- 1.5 kg SunPork pork shoulder
- 2 oranges, zested and juiced
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- A handful of fresh thyme
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 200 mL water
How do I make it?
- Place the pork shoulder into the bowl of a slow cooker. Add the sliced red onion on top.
- In a jug, mix together the orange and lemon juices and zest, garlic, thyme, oregano, paprika and water. Pour the mixture over the pork.
- Cover with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours, until the pork is tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.
- Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the meat to the cooking juices and stir through to soak up the flavour.
- Serve warm with chips and fresh salad, or spoon it over rice, mash or roasted veggies for a cosy winter meal.
