Pressure cooker pulled pork

The easiest pulled pork recipe you’ll ever find. This mouth-watering, smoky barbecue pulled pork is perfect for BBQ season and best served with soft rolls and a helping of coleslaw.

We use a pressure cooker to create pulled pork that falls off the bone, but you can also use a slow cooker to achieve the same results. Be generous with the BBQ sauce to achieve that sweet-yet-tangy flavour.

What you'll need...

  • 2kg trimmed pork shoulder
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper
  • 50g light brown sugar
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 500ml cola
  • 200g barbeque sauce of your choice

For the pull apart rolls

  • 12 small soft rolls
  • 200g mozzarella
  • Coleslaw and salad, optional

Method

  1. It’s helpful to quarter the pork joint to help it cook more evenly. Combine the dry ingredients and massage them into the pork. Place the pork in a bowl and cover with cling film – refrigerate overnight, but a short 20 minute marinate will also work. 

  2. Add the pork to the pressure cooker along with the onions, garlic and cola. Follow the instructions on your pressure cooker and cook on high for 50 minutes. Once the pork is done, allow the pressure to release naturally. 

  3. Transfer the pork to a dish and use two forks to pull it apart. Add your barbeque sauce and enough of the cooking liquid to keep it moist. Stir and cover until needed. 

  4. Split the buns horizontally and layer on the pork and cheese on the bases. Place this on a heat-proof tray and grill until the cheese is melted. Layer on the coleslaw and salad before putting the bread roll hat back on. Serve on a bread board and allow people to pull them apart, or you can help them along by cutting them along the seams.
