Step by step recipe

• 1: Prepare 2 onions and slice thinly.
• 2: Generously butter the bottom of a casserole and spread the sliced onions in a layer.
  Set aside.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 6: Put the lid on and cook in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 4 to 5 hours.
• 7: Halfway through, turn the meat over, then put back in the oven, still covered.
• 8: The meat is ready when it falls apart easily when pulled with a fork.
• 9: Remove and discard the garlic, bayleaf and thyme.
  Shred all the pork then mix in the onions at the bottom.
• 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.
