Slow Cooked Chipotle Pulled Pork

Serves: 6

Ingredients

1kg pork leg, skin removed

1 red onion, finely diced

3 garlic cloves, crushed

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 packet Chipotle Taco Seasoning

¼ cup water

Salt and pepper

Method

1. Add the pork, red onion, garlic, tomato paste, taco seasoning and water to a slow cooker. Season generously with salt and pepper and turn the pork to coat well in the sauce and seasoning.

2. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours (or high for 4–5 hours), until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart.

3. Remove the pork and shred using two forks. Return to the slow cooker and toss through the cooking juices before serving.

   *For a thicker/richer sauce, you can transfer the liquid into a saucepan, turn the heat to high and wait for it reduce by around half, before spooning over the pork. This will result in a more intense flavour, so highly recommend this step!

4. Serving suggestions:

   1. Pulled pork tacos: layer onto some warm tortillas some pickled red onion, gaucamole, pico de gallo and the shredded pulled pork

   2. Construct a Mexican bowl with some rice, black beans, pickled red onion and pico de gallo.
