Ingredients Included

800g Shoulder Pork
Mexican Paste
2 Oranges

Ingredients

  • 800g pork shoulder

  • Mexican paste 

  • 2 oranges (juice + zest)

  • 1 cup chicken stock (or water)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • Olive oil, salt & pepper

Method

  1. Marinate the pork – Rub the pork shoulder with Mexican paste, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the zest of one orange. Let it marinate for at least 30 mins (overnight is even better).

  2. Brown the pork – Heat a heavy pot or Dutch oven with a drizzle of olive oil. Sear pork shoulder on all sides until golden.

  3. Add the flavour base – Squeeze in the juice of both oranges, add stock, and bring to a simmer. Scrape up any caramelised bits from the pan.

  4. Slow cook – Cover and cook on low heat for 3–4 hours (or 6–7 hours in a slow cooker) until the pork is fork-tender and pulls apart easily.

  5. Shred & serve – Shred pork with two forks, toss it back through the sauce, and let it soak up all that smoky, citrusy flavour.
