Instructions

  • Prepare the Pork & Sauce:
    Place the sliced onions, garlic, and chillies in a large ovenproof dish or Dutch oven. Lay the pork shoulder on top.
    In a bowl, whisk together the cider, both mustards, vinegar, honey, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
    Pour the mixture over the pork, ensuring it coats the entire surface. Gently rub it in, making sure to work it into every crevice for maximum flavor.
