Great as you get leftovers for packed lunch next day.

This pulled pork recipe is great for feeding a crowd and cooking it in a slow cooker couldn’t be easier.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 kilograms pork shoulder
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle sauce
  • For the fresh tomato salsa
  • 6 tomatoes, chopped
  • 0.5 red onion
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (about ½ lime)
  • small handful chopped fresh coriander
  • 0.5 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • For the guacamole
  • 2 avocados, peeled, chopped
  • 0.5 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (about ½ lime), plus more to taste
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 12 flour tortillas, to serve

Directions:

Season the pork shoulder with salt. Place the pork shoulder into a slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Meanwhile, for the fresh tomato salsa, mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl and season, to taste, with salt, freshly ground black pepper and more lime juice. For the guacamole, mash the avocado pieces and garlic together until smooth, then stir in the lime juice and season, to taste, with salt, freshly ground black pepper and more lime juice. To serve, remove the skin and fat from the pork shoulder and shred the meat with two forks. Place the meat into a bowl. Mix the chipotle sauce with two tablespoons of the cooking liquid and pour the mixture over the pork. Mix until the pork is coated in the sauce. To serve, arrange the pork on a serving plate and spoon the salsa and guacamole into separate bowls. Warm the tortillas according to packet instructions and serve alongside.
