Delicious Easy Slow Cooked Pulled Pork

10/08/2019 By Caralee 3 Comments

I love pulled pork and it is such an on trend dish at the moment. Lots of cafes have it on their menu and it is hard to go past. Pulled pork is often served on buns or in tacos but there are so many more ways that this delicious meat can be served.

This recipe is one of the amazing recipes that are in ‘Real Food Everyday’ and it is a one pot self-saucing dish, making this a super simple dish to make!

I hosted a lunch for Good and Nosh Food Markets where there were 12 guests, this is the perfect easy recipe to feed a large group. Everyone absolutely loved the lunch. I served it with the soft shell tacos and apple slaw both from ‘Real Food Everyday’.

    I am sure someone has pointed this out already but at the top with cook time & total time it says mins should be hours. Recipe looks delish & I am going to try it. So happy it doesn’t use refined sugar & uses ingredient like dates instead, and bonus I have all the ingredients in the cupboard already.
