ready in 5 hours 35 minutes
What you need:
1½ tsp smoked paprika
1½ tsp ground cumin
½ level tsp sweetener granules
1kg lean pork shoulder, visible fat removed
4 baking potatoes
low-calorie cooking spray
200g barbecue sauce (see recipe below), warmed
For the slaw:
½ red cabbage, cored and finely sliced
2 eating apples, cored and finely sliced
1 red onion, finely sliced
½ small pack fresh parsley, leaves chopped, reserving some to serve
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
Method:
1. Preheat your oven to 150°C/ fan 130°C/gas 2. Mix together the spices and sweetener with ½ tsp salt, then rub all over the pork. Line a roasting tin with a large piece of foil, ensuring there is plenty overhanging the edges of the tin. Add the pork with 200ml water. Bring the foil up and over the pork, and scrunch the sides together to make a tightly sealed tent. Cook for 5 hours, until the pork is really tender.
2. Meanwhile, prick the potatoes all over with a fork. Microwave for 6 minutes on high, or until tender. Spray with low-calorie cooking spray and season with salt. Wrap each potato in a piece of foil.
3. Light your barbecue coals. When the pork has around 10 minutes left to cook, place the potatoes in the barbecue embers and cook for 30 minutes, turning halfway, to get crispy skins.
4. Remove the pork from the oven and discard the foil. Brush all over with 3 tbsp barbecue sauce. Cook the pork on the barbecue for 15-20 minutes, or until crisped up all over, turning occasionally. Meanwhile, mix together all the slaw ingredients, season lightly and set aside.
5. Remove the pork from the barbecue and, using 2 forks, shred into bite-size pieces. Put in a large bowl and fold through 120g warmed barbecue sauce. Unwrap the potatoes, then split and divide between 4 plates with the slaw. Spoon the pulled pork over the potatoes with the remaining barbecue sauce, then scatter the slaw with the reserved parsley to serve.
