Ingredients

  • 2 kg pork shoulder
  • 5 T olive oil
  • 1 t salt
  • 1 t pepper
  • 1 T smoked paprika
  • 1 T mustard powder
  • 2 chillies, chopped
  • 2 T brown sugar
  • 2 onions, sliced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 bulb garlic, unpeeled
  • 1 bay leaves
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • ciabatta rolls, for serving
  • pomegranate rubies, for serving
  • pickles, for serving
  • coleslaw, for serving

Method

Preheat the oven to 160°C. Using a sharp knife, score the pork skin about 1 cm deep. Mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, mustard powder, chillies and brown sugar in a small bowl. Rub into the scored pork.

Place the onions, carrots, garlic and bay leaves into a baking dish. Place the pork, skin-side up, on top of the onions and carrots. Pour the vegetable stock into the dish, wrap with a double layer of foil and bake for 4 hours, occasionally basting with the pan juices.

After 4 hours remove the foil and reduce the oven’s temperature to 150°C, return to the oven and roast for a further 2 hours.

Remove from the oven and shred the meat using two forks. Serve on the ciabatta rolls with the pomegranate rubies, pickles and coleslaw.
