Smoky Pulled Pork
This recipe is so versatile, and, in fact,using a pork fillet is not absolutely necessary, you could use any cut of pork that you like. The Thermomix does such a great job of shredding the pork;not for us the tedious job of pulling apart the pork, piece by painstaking piece, using nothing but a fork. Get the job done in seconds people. Thank you Thermomix!
COOK ONCE EAT TWICE:
Serve on Perfect Burger Buns, as a filling for Quesadillas or Arepas, or serve with potato salad and coleslaw on its own with some steamed rice or noodles.
If desire, you can char the cooked pork under a hot grill before shredding.
TIP:
For gluten-free pulled pork, use tamari or make sure your soy sauce is gluten-free.
