Shoulder of pork1.8 kg
-
Frozen bag of onions1 bag (500 g)
-
Pre-chopped garlic6 tsp
-
Brown sugar2 tablespoon
-
Ground cumin1 tsp
-
Ground cinnamon1 tsp

Chilli powder2 tablespoon
-
Chicken stock2 cups (480 ml)
-
BBQ sauce2 cups (480 ml)

Frozen corn on the cob4
Method
-
Take any packaging or string off the pork shoulder.
-
In a bowl add the sugar, cumin, cinnamon and chilli powder and mix using your hands.
-
Once mixed rub the mix all over the meat (not on the fat).
-
Take a large lidded roasting tin and pour in your stock, the bag of onions and the garlic and mix around.
-
Gently put the meat in the roasting dish (fat side up) and put the lid on.
-
Place this in the bottom of your aga or in an oven at 100°C for approximately 8-10 hrs or until the meat is falling apart.
-
Once the pork has been slow cooked, remove the meat to a chopping board and with a slotted spoon remove the onions to a different bowl.
-
Allow the liquid to cool so that you can remove most of the fat from the top of it.
-
While the liquid is cooling, pull the pork apart with 2 forks or if soft enough you can use your fingers.
-
Put the pulled pork in a bowl and add the 4 cups of BBQ sauce.
-
Once the liquid is cooled and the fat removed add 3 cups of the liquid to the BBQ pork and mix together.
-
You want the pork to be very moist as it will be frozen and reheated.
-
Ready for the freezer
Finally divide the meat into portions, I usually serve a heaped ½ cup per person, so 2 cups in each freezer bag will be perfect for a family of 4. Freeze flat, label and seal. I usually freeze my freezer bag of pulled pork, next to 4 brioche buns and 4 small corn on the cobs, so I have a delicious full meal ready to go from the freezer.
