Pulled Pork Tacos
“With news revealed that pulled pork is for tea, the excitement levels rise, an early lunch, ready as I need to be.
As the pork cooks away, hour after hour. The scent makes me hungry; I resist with all my power.
As the home fills, with a smell described as yum. An earlier lunch has created room, as I know I can't stop at some.
As dinner time approaches, and the tastebuds start to dance, the forks start to shred, I see this at a glance.
As dinner disappears, the flavours got me in a spin. On the chopping board is leftovers. Time for picking to begin.” - Nick the poet

Disclosure - this recipe takes between 7-8 hours cooking time
1) Mix all the spices together to make the rub
2) Rub the spices over the pork (ensure to rub into all the little crevices)
3) Place the pork in a roasting dish in the oven at 120degrees
4) Every hour lightly spray the pork with apple cider vinegar (this helps to break down the pork)
5) After 7-8 hours take the pork out gently shred with forks, it should fall apart.
We serve our pork with soft taco shells, chipotle slaw (if you are making slaw from scratch add chipotle into the slaw mix), a little bit of bbq sauce and a lime wedge.
