Pulled Pork Slow Cooker Barbecue Recipe
– Posted by nic
Ingredients:
- 1 boneless pork shoulder or butt roast ~ 1.5kg – 2kg in size.
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Half teaspoon ground red pepper (I think I may have left this one out?)
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium green capsicum, cut into strips
- 1 bottle barbecue sauce – approx 530ml.
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar.
Directions:
- Trim excess fat from pork. Combine salt, cumin, paprika, black pepper and red pepper in small bowl; rub over roast.
- Place onion and capsicum in the slow cooker, add pork. Combine barbecue sauce and brown sugar in a bowl, then pour over meat. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 – 10 hours.
- The recipe says to transfer roast to a cutting board, trim any fat and pull the pork into coarse shred using 2 forks. We found that when we pulled it out of the slow cooker, it fell apart anyway!
- Says to serve it with the sauce on some tortilla wraps or over rice. So we did both, rice on the wraps with the pork, sauce and some capsicum on top, and rolled them up.
Pork Slow Cooker Spare Ribs with Plum Sauce
– Posted by Cailin
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup plum jam – I put up to 1/2 cup
- 2 chicken stock cubes
- 2 tsp cornflour
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tsp soy Sauce
- 2 tablespoon dry sherry
- 1 clove, or 1 tsp minced garlic
- Ribs of course – I cut them up individually to get them really well coated in the delicious saucy marinade.
Directions:
These cooked quite quickly, about 4 hours. To get them sticky pop them in a hot oven for about 10 minutes, but they don’t necessarily need it!

Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Pork Recipe
– Posted by Tamara
Ingredients:
Marinade for Pork
- 2 tbsp Soya Sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp dry sherry
Recipe
- 1 Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic crushed (or 2tsp crushed garlic)
- 1 tin of pineapple (keep JUICE)
- 1 Red Capsicum Sliced
- 1 Green Capsicum Sliced
- 1 Stick Celery Chopped
- Any Asian style veggies, eg. Bok Choy, Snow Peas…
- 500g-1kg cubed pork (depending on how much meat you like)
Sauce
- 1 tbsp Corn Flour
- 2 tbsp soya sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp brown vinegar/sherry
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- Leftover marinade
Directions:
- Put Meat and Marinade together into container and store in the fridge whilst preparing veggies. This will tenderise the meat as well as give it extra flavour and lock in some of the juices.
- Prepare veggies and chuck into a bowl. KEEP PINEAPPLE SEPARATE along with its juice.
- After 20mins, take our Pork from the fridge and add to SC. If some of the marinade gets in, don’t stress as you will need some liquid in there.
- Add the veggies (NOT THE PINEAPPLE)
- Add the sauce but keep the PINEAPPLE AND JUICE OUT.
- Turn onto Auto cook for about 6-8hours, even Low for a bit longer.
- If you are having Bok Choy with it, add it when you do the following last step as Bok Choy is best cooked for less time.
- When it has an hour to go, add Pineapple pieces and Juice and stir through. Cook for a further 1 hour on LOW setting as not to make pineapple mushy.
- Serve with Rice or Noodles.
