Asian honey, soy, garlic pulled pork

Ingredients

1-1.5 kg pork shoulder

2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce

1 heaped tbsp honey

As many garlic cloves as you want!

2 tsp chinese 5 spice

½ chinese wine or water/stock

Method

Take the skin off the pork, you can throw it or use it for crackling. Score the skin so it is easier to break/cut apart later. Rub with 2 tsp salt and 1 tbsp oil. Put in a very hot oven (about 220-230C) for about 30-40 mins until hard and crackled.

Put the wine/water in the slow cooker, put the pork in and rub the pork with the soy, honey and 5 spice powder.  Cook on high for 6-7 hours until the pork falls apart.

I served this with steamed kale, butter beans and slow cooked carrots. (just throw halved carrots in with the pork)

Zucchini, carrot, haloumi fritters

  makes 12

 

Ingredients

3 zucchinis, grated

2-3 carrots, grated

250g block firm haloumi, grated

½ c (approx.) corn/rice flour/tapioca

3 eggs  

  

Method

Mix altogether, there will be some liquid surrounding the vegies, you don’t want it too thick. Cook in a large pan on a medium heat in some ghee or similar. When golden brown turn over and cook the other side. The liquid that comes out of the veg mix when cooking goes crispy and is really nice, that’s why you want a little liquid come out of the mix. These are good with a nice relish and avocado and salad.
