Pulled Pork

Pulled Pork recipe, Eat well on Universal Credit

Originally an American invention to use the front parts of a Pig which we usually make into Sausages. Pulled Pork is a great way to use the ver cheapest cuts. This joint was less that £2. Yes it is a bit of boneless shoulder and yes it would heve been touch as old boots! But not this way.
 
Note:-  Sue is not keen on BBQ sauce so I used a simple gravy at the end of the process to moisten the meat.
 
Ingredients:-
 
Pork Shoulder cut. Bone in or out, it's down to what is available.
Stock, beef, chicken or if you have your own any base stock will work.
Sale & Pepper.
Oil.
 
Method:-
 
(1) Don't start this expecting to eat in less than 3 hours!.
(2) Turn the oven up to 200c or so.
(3) If using Stock Cube mix with boiling water stir well and set aside.
(4) Mix the Salt and Pepper with the Oil and rub the meat well.
(5) Add the Stock to an oven proof dish.
(6) Place the joint in the dish and put in the oven on a very high heat for the first 20 minutes.
(7) Lower the heat to 140c and cover with foil.
(8) Go away, take the kids out. Clean the loo. Do whatever will distract you from the cooking smells for at the very least 2 ½ hours.
(9) When the meat is really over cooked and very tender take it out and on a board run two forks against each other to shred the meat.

Sue has family in Wales and we were looking for another recipe project. So Welsh recipes it is….

Ingredients for the Laver Cakes:-

2 Tbsp of Laverbread (We bought this in a tin as it’s a long walk to Wales to harvest out own!)
3 Tbsp of Gluten Free Quinona Flakes
2 Tbsp of Buckwheat Flour
2 Tbsp of Cockles

Method:-

(1) Combine all the ingredients.
(2) Divide into two patties.
(3) Fry in a little Oil on a medium heat for 3 minutes on each side.
(4) Dress with a little Laver and a few Cockles to serve.

Apart from the Laver Cakes the other components were, A fried Egg, Pork and Caramelised Onion Sausages, Bacon, Baked Beans, Baby Tomatoes and fried foraged Pine Bolete Mushrooms.

The Laver Cakes are Sue’s modification using Quinona Flake to replace the Oats, so the Cakes are Gluten Free. If you can tolerate Oats, that would be more tradition. But they were really good!
