Slow Roasted Pulled Pork With Spring Green Salad

Prep: 15 minutes

Cook: 3½ hours

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 1kg boneless pork leg joint
  • 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 400ml hot chicken stock

For the spring greens salad:

  • 200g bag sliced Cavolo Nero
  • 2 Leeks, sliced (500g)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

Cook’s tip

Great for summer eating, just chill the spring green salad and serve in toasted baps. Serve warm as an alternative to a roast dinner.
