BBQ PULLED PORK WITH APPLE AND FENNEL SLAW
This is a version of one of the recipes in my next book, and it could very well be one of my favourites. Ever. The slow-cooked pulled pork in it's spicy BBQ style sauce, served with a very simple bread roll and crunchy mustard-dressed slaw on the side is a near-perfect combination for me. It's lazy weekend food at it's very best. The kind that requires nothing more than simple admiring as it cooks while you sit back with a glass of wine. Also, any leftovers make a very handsome pairing with pasta of any kind - and how can that ever be a bad thing?

Steps:
- 1. Pre-heat your oven to 200C. Lay the pork in an ovenproof dish that has a lid. Add in the tomatoes, onion and rosemary. Combine the remaining ingredients and HALF the stock in a mixing jug and then pour over the pork. 2. Cook for 30 minutes at 200C, then turn the oven down to 140C, add in the remaining stock and cook for a further 2.5 hours with the lid on, followed by another 30 minutes with the lid off, or until the sauce has thickened and the meat can literally be 'pulled' apart with two forks. Check the liquid at 30 minute intervals, to make sure that the meat is not drying out. If you need to add more liquid, add in about another 100ml stock or water. 3. Remove the pork from the oven, leave to rest for 20 minutes, remove the crackling and set aside to grill until crispy and eat or discard (eat!), and then 'shred' the meat using two forks and mix it in with the sauce. 4. To make the slaw, combine all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl and toss gently to combine. 5. Serve the pork piled into fresh bread rolls or folded into wraps, with the slaw on the side.

Steps:
- Using a pestle and mortar, crush together the fennel seeds, coriander seeds and chilli flakes, then mix the spices into the salt. Put the pork belly in a roasting tin and slash lines across the skin (about 5mm apart) using a sharp knife. Rub the skin with most of the salt mix, and chill, uncovered, overnight.
- The next day, heat the oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3. Remove the pork from the fridge and scrape off the salt mix. Pat well with kitchen paper to remove the moisture, then re-season with the remaining salt mix. Roast for 2 hrs, then reduce the oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2 and cook for a further 1 hr. Turn the oven up to its highest for 15-20 mins or until crackled. If your pork still hasn't crackled enough, heat the grill to its highest setting. Transfer the pork to a baking sheet and grill for 4-5 mins (watch it to make sure it doesn't burn). Cover and rest for 30 mins.
- To make the slaw, mix together the lemon zest and juice with the olive oil, chilli and some seasoning in a large bowl. Toss the with the shallot, fennel and apple. Top with the fennel fronds, if you like.
- Whizz together all the ingredients for the mojo verde and season to taste. Slice and serve the pork with the slaw andmojo verde on the side. Any leftover pork can be warmed and piled into crusty rolls with the slaw and mojo verde.

Tips:
- For the best pulled pork, choose a pork shoulder or pork butt roast. These cuts have a lot of connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and makes the meat tender and flavorful.
- Sear the pork roast in a hot skillet before braising it. This will help to develop a crispy crust and lock in the juices.
- Braise the pork roast in a flavorful liquid, such as chicken broth, apple cider, or beer. This will help to keep the meat moist and tender.
- Cook the pork roast until it is fall-apart tender, about 8-10 hours on low in a slow cooker or 4-6 hours on low in a Dutch oven.
- Make the fennel-apple slaw while the pork is cooking. This will give the flavors time to meld.
- Serve the pulled pork with the fennel-apple slaw on top. You can also add other toppings, such as barbecue sauce, coleslaw, or pickles.
Conclusion:
This pulled pork with fennel-apple slaw is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a casual gathering or a potluck. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the slaw is crisp and refreshing. This recipe is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
