Method
- Remove some of the fat from the pork joint if it has a large rind, leaving a thin layer on the top - this will help keep the meat moist. (you can discard this or make cracking to go with your butties entirely up to you).
- Sear the pork joint on all sides in large pan on a very hot heat with a little oil until golden
- Mix together all the other ingredients in a jug to create the marinade
- Place the pork joint in the slow cooker, spoon over the marinade rubbing it into the joint well
- Allow this to cook in your slow cooker for on high for 5 hours or on low for 10 hours.
- Take a large bowl and mix together all the slaw ingredients.
- When the pork is cooked remove from the slow cooker and transfer to a large bowl.
- Shred the meat with two forks whilst hot and allow it to bubble away in a large frying pan on a medium high heat for a further 15/20 minutes until the juices have reduced by half before serving.
- Serve on brioche buns with extra BBQ sauce and a big dollop of slaw.
