Intro

A simple easy meal that serves four. I’ve always loved pulled pork as it has such great texture and flavour. This slow cooker recipe has a tangy flavour that will melt in the mouth.

Corn on the Cob

To Serve

The pork should be falling apart by now so pull apart (shred) with two forks. Lightly toast both sides of the brioche buns and load up with the pulled pork. Add pickles and red onion to taste.

Lift the cobs from the grill, unwrap and serve!
