Slow cooked Pulled Pork

Prep time: 10 mins
Cooking time: 8 hours (check at 7 hours)
Serves: 4-6 

Ingredients

4 tbsp paprika or smoked paprika
1-2 tsp cayenne chilli powder (depending on how much kick you like)
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried thyme
4 tsp Himalayan pink salt
3 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp apple cider vinegar
4 heaped tbsp organic honey (I used manuka but this can be expensive)
2 large onions peeled and chopped
2 kg boneless pork shoulder cut in half and with fat removed 

Directions

Mix the paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, thyme, salt and pepper in a bowl with a fork before adding the olive oil, apple cider vinegar and honey and mix again to form a paste. 

Place the chopped onion in the bottom of the slow cooker and spread it out before laying the 2 pieces of pork on top. Pour the paste mixture over the top of the pork and ensure you use a spoon to get every bit out of the bowl and then cover as much of the pork as possible with the paste. 

Turn the slow cooker on to a low setting and cook for 8 hours or until the pork is tender enough for you to get you’re shred on with a fork.You can either use a fork to shred the pork whilst it’s in the slow cooker and then mix it with the onions and juices or you can remove the pork from the slow cooker, shred it and then use the onions as a topping. 

Serve with some rice, potatoes or an iceberg lettuce wraps.
