I am posting the recipes in the order in which we got them prepped and cooking on our extreme cooking day :). The ingredients are the quantities we used on this particular day, and I will list how many portions we got out of each recipe - definitely for meal prep purposes, and not a quick dinner for two people (you will have to half or quarter some of these recipes for that!).
This pulled pork is so easy, and just so delicious. I mainly use it to make pulled pork sliders with a BBQ sauce, but you could also use it in tacos or burritos - anything really.
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork | Portions: 16
Ingredients
- ~3kg boneless pork shoulder
- 2 onions, roughly chopped
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- 2 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 litre chicken stock
Method
Step 1: prep the meat by removing the string, and trimming any excess fat
Step 2: put the onion in the bottom of the slow cooker, and place the pork on top
Step 3: sprinkle with the thyme and rosemary, salt and pepper, and then pour the stock over the top
Step 4: put the lid on, and cook on low for 10 hours (set a timer!!!)
Step 5: after 10 hours, turn off the slow cooker, and leave to cook for half an hour or so (just long enough so you don't burn yourself!)
Step 6: transfer the meat into a bowl (leave the liquid behind) and shred with 2 forks
Step 7: leave to cool fully before portioning
We portioned this pork into 300g portions (to serve 2 people) in ziplock bags (not Tupperware, to save space).
This is the only pic I have of the pork, in the slow cooker...
I will update this blog with photos of the finished meal once I get to eating this one!
Join me next week for slow cooker minestrone soup :).
