Tips and Serving Suggestions
Oven Method:
Follow step 1. Preheat the oven to 150°C, 130°C Fan, Gas Mark 2. Place the pork into a small to medium-sized, foil-lined roasting tin or ovenproof casserole dish. Season the joint all over with the piri piri seasoning. Pour the chopped tomatoes around the joint. Cover tightly with extra foil, or the casserole lid and cook in the oven for about 5 hours or until tender. Remove the joint the oven and leave to rest in the cooking liquor, covered for 20 minutes. Transfer the pork to a chopping board (reserve the cooking liquor) and `pull’ the cooked pork apart by securing with a fork and shredding the meat with a second fork, spoon over any remaining sauce and use as required.
