Pulled Pork Tacos
  1. Preheat oven to 150°C (fan bake)

  2. De-bone pork carefully, leaving the fat & most of skin intact. Remove excess skin if it is not covering any meat

  3. Combine rub, massage into pork, place in Dutch oven & season with salt & pepper

  4. Chop onion into chunks, place around pork with bay leaves, garlic, lime zest, and Dijon mustard

  6. After 4 hours, reduce to 130°C, rotate & cook further 4 hours

  7. Remove pork from Dutch oven, carefully discarding skin. Cover in foil

  8. Drain liquid into a large pot, discarding leaves & onions

  9. Add 1 cup of stock, a dollop of smoky BBQ sauce, 1 tbsp tomato paste, splash of Worcestershire sauce, and a squeeze of lime

  10. Bring to the boil & simmer on a low heat

  11. While sauce is simmering, pull pork apart with 2 forks & spread meat on an oven tray
