Ingredients

2.5 kg pork shoulder joint boneless
2 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon flaky salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
500 ml cider
150 ml bbq sauce

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 150c / 300F. In a small bowl, combine the paprika, ground cumin and dried oregano with brown sugar, salt and pepper. Sprinkle the rub over the pork shoulder and ensure the whole pork joint is covered in the rub. Place into a deep casserole or baking dish (that has a lid).
Pour the cider into the casserole dish around the pork. Place the lid onto the dish and into the oven for 8 hours.
After 8 hours, remove the dish from the oven and slice the fatty skin off the pork and discard. Pull apart the pork and then add the bbq sauce into the dish. Place the dish back into the oven for another 20-30 minutes until the sauce has reduced slightly and the pulled pork has browned a bit on the tips.
Once the bbq pulled pork is moist and sweet and tangy, remove from the oven and it's ready to eat!
Serving options are as follows; bbq pulled pork over rice with black beans and tenderstem broccoli, bbq pulled pork baguette with smoked cheddar, chimichurri, and an assortment of lettuce/rocket/arugula, bbq pulled pork tacos with mango salsa and jalapeños. Enjoy!!!
