Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Frying Pan (or BBQ)
  • Grater
  • Chopping board and knife
  • Spatula
  • 2 forks
  • Airtight container

Ingredients

Slow cooked pork

  • 1 kg boneless pork shoulder or Boston butt roast
  • ½ tsp Himalayan salt

Hash

  • 600 g sweet potato
  • 2 tbsp ghee
  • 100 g brown onion
  • Salt and pepper, ½ tsp salt for the onion, then ¼ tsp salt and a pinch of pepper for the hash
  • 8 large eggs, optional

Instructions

Cook the pork

  • Rub the pork shoulder all over with ½ tsp salt.
  • Put the pork in the slow cooker and put the lid on.
  • Cook on low for 12 to 14 hours, until it shreds easily with two forks.

Prepare the sweet potato

  • Grate the sweet potato.
  • Put the grated sweet potato in a container in the fridge overnight.

Shred the pork

  • Lift the cooked pork out of the slow cooker.
  • Shred it with two forks.

Cook the hash

  • Finely chop the onion.
  • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Melt 1 tbsp ghee in the pan.
  • Add the onion and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes, until soft. Add salt as it cooks: ½ tsp.
  • Add the sweet potato and the remaining 1 tbsp ghee.
  • Season with salt and pepper: ¼ tsp salt and a pinch of pepper.
  • Optional eggs: make 8 wells in the hash, crack an egg into each, cover and cook for a few minutes, until the eggs are how you like them.
  • Leave the hash over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, until the underside is browned.
  • Flip the hash in sections with a spatula and brown the other side for 5 minutes.

Finish

  • Top with the pulled pork and stir it through until the pork is steaming hot.

Notes

Storage: cool within 2 hours, fridge up to 3 days, reheat until steaming hot all the way through. Key swap: cooked pulled pork skips the slow cooker.
