Ingredients

3 lb / 1.5kg boneless rolled joint of pork
2 tbs salt
2 tbs brown sugar
For the spice rub
1 dried smoky chilli
1 star anise
1 tsp cumin – ground
1 tsp coriander seed
1 tsp sea salt
2 tbs brown sugar
3 cloves garlic – crushed
1 tsp miso paste
1 tbs soy sauce

Instructions

Grind the spices for the spice rub, add the garlic, miso and soy sauce and mix well.
Place the pork in a strudy plastic bag, dissolve the salt and sugar in a jug of water, stir in a tablespoon of the spice rub and pour over the pork. Add a little more water if needed, give a good squidge to mix well, seal the bag and put in the fridge to brine for 24 – 36 hours.
Once brined remove the pork, and dry it off with some kitchen paper. Rub the remainder of the spice rub well into the meat.
Place the meat in your slow cooker or crockpot and cook on low for about 12 – 14 hours. If you want the pork for dinner start cooking it first thing, for lunch I cook it overnight.
When done remove the joint from the slow cooker, and shred the meat with two forks. Skim and discard the fat from the juices.
Serve with a little of the juice poured over, with bread, buns and salads.
Freezes well.

Notes

Leftovers freeze well - allow double portions as this is SO good
