Remove the joint the oven and leave to rest, in the cooking liquor and cover for 20 minutes. Transfer the pork to a chopping board (retain the cooking liquor) and `pull’ the cooked pork apart by securing with a fork and shredding the meat with a second fork, spoon over the remaining sauce and serve with the onions as required.
