I’ve recently got myself a slow-cooker. The very first thing that my husband requested was pulled pork, so I searched around for some recipes and used the most straightforward one that I could find. It was nice, but still felt like a bit of a faff to prepare, we had way too much, and the coating on the pork was a little strong for the children’s tastes. And so I made my own up, that feeds the 4 of us perfectly and is really easy…
Ingredients:
0.7kg Pork shoulder/leg/any joint
1 Chicken Stock Cube
150ml water
1 tsp sugar (heaped)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions:
–Â Boil the kettle. Pop one chicken stock cube into 150ml of boiling water
– Mix up all the sugar, salt, pepper and cinnamon in a bowl, ready for coating.
– Cut any fat off your pork joint.
– Cover the pork in your coating
– Place pork into the slow cooker, and then add the chicken stock
– Cook on low for 8 hours
So simple! It’s prepared in 5 minutes and then you can leave it to do it’s thing all day long. We have ours as part of a roast dinner, but on baps is popular, too. This makes the pork just fall apart, and it tastes delicious. You can then add whatever extra sauces you like for individual family preferences!
What’s your favourite slow-cooker recipe?
This sounds nice and much more simple than the way we usually make it! The recipe we use involves marinating overnight, which is all a bit of a hassle really – I can’t be bothered with all that since having the baby!
We recently discovered a slow cooker gammon recipe on This Mummy’s blog, which is so simple you wouldn’t believe and it tasted amazing too, I’d definitely recommend it, assuming you like gammon x
That does sound a hassle – this takes me minutes so I’m a big fan! Ah, you see I don’t like gammon! My husband loves it, though, so I suppose I’d best look!
I’ve made this several times now using whatever I happen to have in the cupboard. It’s become a firm favourite.
Yes, here, too. Easy and delicious!
It sounds and looks delicious!
Oh, it is!
Now this sounds like my kind of recipe! I’ve not used the slow cooker in ages. I’m very tempted to get hold of some pork and try this 🙂
You should, Iona – so, so easy!
I love my slow cooker and am always looking for new recipes to try in it. This looks great, the easier the better! x
That’s always my thoughts on cooking!
Ooooh, that’s a nice and easy recipe. Hubby would love that! Just added the pork to my shopping list, will surprise him tomorrow! x
Fabulous! Hope he likes it 🙂
Mmmmm sounds so good! I love pulled pork but normally do it in the oven, I’m going to try this! Need to pin it, off to do that now.
Great! So lovely in the slow cooker 🙂
Oh wow, this sounds good. Bookmarking this recipe – a few days ago I said we should try and make pulled pork at home after having it at a friends BBQ 🙂
Ah yes, perfect timing then! This one’s ridiculously easy!
This looks absolutely scrumptious, we’re massive fans of pulled pork in this house!
It’s becoming a firm favourite here, too!
Oh i absolutely love pulled pork but have never been sure how to approach it at home as thought it’d involve an overnight process.. Didn’t even think about using my slow cooker! Mine’s been packed away ready for some Autumn casseroles but may need to dig it back out now 🙂
This is ridiculously simple, but it works! Enjoy 🙂
I love pulled pork – buying my slow cooker was one of my better decisions. #recipeoftheweek
