We had a huge gathering over the Bank holiday weekend. We got together four friends, their various other halves and kids with a huge bonfire in one corner of the garden, a trampoline and kiddies play house at the other and a whole lot of food somewhere in between. Just the way Bank holidays should go, drizzle and all. And talking about the weather, I kinda figured I should make my life easier this year. Skip the obligatory barbeque, which obviously does not mix well with the rain, but not skip the very obligatory meat centrepiece. So I made this super easy Chinese five spice pulled pork.
All I had to do was rub the flavours in and bung it in the oven, and it cooked slowly for five or more hours, to achieve a lovely, tender, flavoursome deliciousness. So, up with the children, quickly switch on the oven and some hours later, the pork was perfect. The house had been filled with delicious smells and I had been able to have a totally #achievelazy morning. It was only a matter of laying out the buns, shredded pork, coleslaw and ice tea on the create your own pulled pork sandwich station and we were good to go. What worked out even better was that one of my friends was seriously late (puncture, and then he discovered that his spare tyre was flat too), but with pulled pork, it is just as nice hours after it comes out of the oven as when it is piping hot. In fact, the remains of the five spice pulled pork are in today’s sandwiches as we go off for an adventure picnic.
