Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - ⌛ 5 min.
Cajun pulled pork : Stage 1
Prepare 2 onions and slice thinly.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 2 min.
Cajun pulled pork : Stage 2
Generously butter the bottom of a casserole and spread the sliced onions in a layer.

Set aside.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 1 min.
Cajun pulled pork : Stage 3
Put the pork joint (or pieces) on a chopping board. You can choose a cheaper cut for this; there is no need to use a premium cut like filet mignon (even though this would work fine).

A smoked and salted joint would be even better still, so I heartily recommend it.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 3 min.
Cajun pulled pork : Stage 4
Spread the top of the meat with mustard and sprinkle half the spice mixture over.

Sprinkle with salt if not using a salted joint.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 5 min.
Cajun pulled pork : Stage 5
Sit the meat on top of the onions, spiced side downwards.

Spread the other side with mustard and add the remaining spices. Salt again if necessary.

Add 2 cloves garlic, 1 bayleaf and 1 sprig thyme.

Add 500 ml dry white wine until it comes to halfway up the meat.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 5 hours
Cajun pulled pork : Stage 6
Put the lid on and cook in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 4 to 5 hours.

Stage 7

Halfway through, turn the meat over, then put back in the oven, still covered.

Stage 8
Cajun pulled pork : Stage 8
The meat is ready when it falls apart easily when pulled with a fork.

Stage 9
Cajun pulled pork : Stage 9
Remove and discard the garlic, bayleaf and thyme.

Shred all the pork then mix in the onions at the bottom.

Stage 10
Cajun pulled pork : Stage 10
Your pulled pork is ready. Try serving it with sesame rice, for example or a potato purée .
Remarks
You can use stock (vegetable or poultry) or just water instead of the white wine in stage 5.
