Directions

  1. Rub the pork shoulder thoroughly with the Cuban seasoning.
  2. Place the pork in a slow cooker (or ovenproof casserole with lid) with the garlic, onion, orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, and chicken stock.
  3. Cover and cook on low heat for 8-10 hours (or 3-4 hours at 160°C in the oven) until the pork is tender and pulls apart with a fork.
  4. Shred the pork and mix it back into the juices. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  5. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until softened. Add the black beans and Cuban seasoning and cook for 5-minutes until heated through.
  6. Warm the buns and serve them on a plate with the Cuban pulled pork and black beans. Let people assemble their own rolls, drizzling with the Red Dawg Hot Sauce for a hit of heat, with avocado, herbs and lime wedges on the side.
