Pulled pork is a one of the delicious ways to prepare pork and is such a versatile ingredient in dishes. Whether you prepare it in buns, tacos, soup or even in a salad, each meal will be memorable.
For this recipe, we would recommend using pork neck or any pork with bone-in. Pork neck is a great cut to slow-cook with since it has intramuscular fat running through the meat. And as the pork cooks, the fat starts to melt, resulting in moist and tender meat.
All about the flavour
To make sure the pork flavour is enhanced in the best way possible, you will be cooking it in a tasty marintate sauce. To do so, you will be combining these flavoursome ingredients:
Paprika
Chili powder
Garlic powder
Thyme
Honey
Red wine vinegar
Soy sauce
Olive oil
Barbecue sauce
The Asian-style ingredients like soy sauce and red wine vinegar blends beautifully with the richer flavours of the honey and paprika. And the longer the mixture cooks, the more infused the pork will become.
If you are not a fan of too much heat in a dish, feel free to either put less chili powder in or none at all. Either way, the rest of the spices will bring enough deliciousness for the perfect pulled pork.
Try this succulent pulled pork recipe for a delicious juicy add-on to almost any dish.
