Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1.5 – 2kg pork shoulder

3/4 cup tomato ketchup

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup dark soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon chilli powder

1 medium onion, finely diced

2 clove garlic, finely diced

extra large piece of tinfoil (if using roasting pan)

To serve

500 gram bag Vital Vegetables Vitalbones Slaw (see recipe tip)

24-30 sliders or small buns, halved

butter for sliders (optional)

Method

1.Preheat the oven to 140°C. Line a deep-sided roasting pan with baking paper (alternatively, you can use a large, covered casserole dish).

2.Heat the oil in a frypan. Brown the pork shoulder on all sides over a medium-high heat. Transfer the pork to the prepared roasting pan.

3.Place the tomato ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, salt, pepper and chilli powder in a pan. Add the onion and garlic to the sauce and bring it all to a boil. Pour the sauce evenly over the pork.

4.Cover the whole roasting pan loosely with tinfoil, securing well around the edges. Place in the preheated oven and cook for 6 hours (long, slow cooking is key).

5.When ready to serve, prepare the Vital Vegetables Vitalbones Slaw by mixing the sachet of dressing through the veges. Set aside. Use two forks to ‘pull’ the pork from the bone and coat generously in the sauce.

6.Butter the sliders if desired. Fill each slider generously with pulled pork and slaw.
