No recipes should be copied from other websites (eg BBC/GoodFood etc); they should all be at least somewhat tweaked from the original to add your own style and imagination!

Carolina Pulled Pork by DcD

____________________________________________

____________________________________________



____________________________________________
Description:
Shredded Carolina pulled pork done low 'n' slow in any average slow cooker. Perfect for winter when it's a bit too cold to be firing up an outdoor grill!



____________________________________________
Ingredients:

• Medium/Large Pork Shoulder
  
  DRY RUB:
• 2 tablespoons salt
• tablespoons sugar
• 1 handful brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cumin
• 3 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
• 8 tablespoons paprika
  
  Mop sauce:
• 2 tablespoons salt
• Half a cup of tomato ketchup
• A generous helping of Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 handful brown sugar
• Mild chilli flakes
• A small amount of hickory liquid smoke, if you can get it.

____________________________________________
Extra equipment you may need:
Slow cooker.



____________________________________________
Method:
Blend all the dry rub ingredients together in a bowl. Remove some excess fat and skin from pork shoulder with a sharp blade. Rub the mixture generously all over the pork, seal in cling film or preferably an air tight large food bag in the fridge; the longer the better (overnight?).

Preheat slow cooker to low setting. Mix together mop sauce in a new bowl. Place pork shoulder in slow cooker, chopping into smaller pieces if required. Gently pour over the mop sauce, being careful not to wash off the dry rub, which after a few hours should have started to cause the pork to sweat and will now be stuck to the meat.

Cook on low for ~8 hours, again, the longer the better, until the pork breaks apart with a fork and can no longer hold its own weight when picked up by the end (it should split apart into fibres).

Drain off the liquid from the slow cooker into a bowl, don't throw it away. Shred apart the pork into fibre strands. Then, re-add about half the liquid to make it moister again. Serve in buns with barbecue sauce, coleslaw and fries!

Comments:
Easy to reheat in the microwave, though shouldn't be stored for more than a fews days in the fridge.
