Slow Cooked Pulled Pork Buns
Delicious slow cooked pork fillet, amazing with or without the magic of Thermomix.
This recipe is not a thermomix recipe...sorry. It could be done in your Thermo of choice, but the volume would be difficult. In fact shredding or ‘pulling’ the pork would be very easy in Thermo...so for those of you who insist. Place chunks of the cooked pork into your Thermo and shred 3 sec/Reverse/speed 4. There it is, that easy! Having said that, you could probably just pull it apart with a fork that easily as well, seriously delicious and simple. And bountiful enough to feed a mega crowd! Save this one for your next afternoon group feeding fest. Enjoy.
