My favourite kitchen appliance has to be my slow cooker. It has been my meal prep saviour on many occasions. I am always on the lookout for recipes to use along with new dynamic flavours to try. From soups, to stews, the options are truly endless.
This Pulled Pork recipe is at the top of my favourites list. Quick and easy to make, this unique flavour combination is a delicious twist on the classic sauce.
The ginger gives a spicy kick while the orange brings a tangy twist.
Served on a fresh brioche bun, and topped with classic coleslaw, this meal literally fits in the palm of you hand. The entire family will love it.
Serving suggestions
Do you have leftovers? Make them new again by using the pork as a substitute for chicken in your quesadillas. Punch up your homemade Mac N’Cheese but tossing some of the pork into the pan, or create a tangy eggs Benedict using the pork as your meat substitute with spinach and a light hollandaise. The options are limited only by your imagination.
