Smoky Pulled Pork
When you NEED that smoky flavour, there is nothing quite like this amazing pork. You could also use this recipe for chicken, beef or lamb.
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.
