Slow Cook Pork Shoulder in Beer

There is nothing more warming and comforting than coming home to a slow cooked meal during the winter months.

I love pork and this slow cooked shoulder in beer is just full of melt in the mouth comfort food deliciousness. Serve with mash, noodles or rice or even pilled high on a steaming hot jacket potato.

Sooo yummy, tender and flavourful, open wide!!

Ingredients

1 1/2-2 kg pork shoulder

1 tbsp soft brown sugar

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 1/2 tsp ground cumin

1 tbsp soy sauce

2 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

2 onions, peeled, cut into chunks

3 carrots, peeled, cut into chunks

3 cloves garlic, crushed

350 ml beer

Method

1.  Remove the string casing around the pork if there is one. Trim any excess fat from meat.

2.  In a bowl, combine brown sugar, smoked paprika, cumin, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Rub spice mixture all over pork. Leave to sit for 30-60 minutes.

3.  Using the slow cooker or a large pan, heat some oil, then brown pork on all sides. Remove to a plate. Add the onions, carrots and garlic. Fry for 3 minutes.

4.   If using a pan, transfer the vegetables to the slow cooker. Add the pork. Pour in the beer. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours.

Use any leftovers in a pulled pork slider, well that's another meal sorted!
