Ingredients
For the pork:
  • 1.5 kg boneless pork shoulder roast
  • 2tbsp brown sugar
  • 1tbsp salt
  • 1tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
For the BBQ sauce:
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ red onion, finely chopped or grated
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup cider vinegar
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp American mustard
  • 2 tsp honey
For the slaw:
  • ½ a small head of red cabbage
  • 1 large or 2 small carrots
  • ½ red onion or some chopped spring onions
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp grain mustard
  • Squeeze of lemon juice
  • Bread rolls, to serve
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 200C, and place the pork into a roasting dish. Stir together the sugar, salt and spices and rub thoroughly, all over the pork. Place into the oven for 30 minutes.
  2. Remove the pork from the oven and add 2 cups of water to the bottom of the pan. Cover the pan tightly with tinfoil, turn the oven down to 140C, and cook for about 6-6½ hours, or until the meat falls apart easily.
  3. To make the barbecue sauce, place the oil, garlic and onion into a medium saucepan and sweat over a low heat, until translucent. Add the remaining ingredients, and simmer gently for a few minutes. Set aside until ready to serve.
  4. To make the slaw, simply shred the cabbage, carrots and red onion finely and place into a serving bowl. Stir together the mayo, mustard and a squeeze of lemon (to taste), and then toss everything together. This actually benefits from a little time in the fridge, so it’s great to make ahead, even the day before.
  5. When ready to serve, shred the pork with two forks, discarding any skin or excess fat, and toss with about 2 thirds of the sauce. Pile a good amount of the pork onto a bun, add more sauce if you want it, plus plenty of the slaw, and dig in! If you’re really going for it, you can even throw a few potato chips in there. Enjoy!
