Ingredients
- 1 kg pork leg or shoulder, cut into 5 cm chunks
Marinade
- 185 ml (¾ cup) white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 50 g achiote paste
- 1 brown onion, quartered
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tbsp sea salt flakes
Pickled red onion
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- juice of 1 lime
- ½ tsp sea salt flakes
To serve
- gluten-free corn tortillas
- shredded red cabbage
- chopped coriander
Cooking time is 1 hour if using a pressure cooker, 3 hours if on the stovetop.
Instructions
1. For the marinade, place all the ingredients in a food processor with 185 ml (¾ cup) and blitz to form a smooth paste.
2. Place the pork in a pressure cooker or large heavy-based saucepan and pour over the marinade. Close the lid and cook in the pressure cooker for 1 hour on low setting (or 2 ½ - 3 hours over low heat).
3. Meanwhile, for the pickled onion, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and set aside for 1 hour to pickle. Drain the onions and discard the liquid.
4. Once the pork is tender, use 2 forks to coarsely shred the meat.
5. Cook the tortillas directly over an open flame for 10 seconds on each side for maximum heat and crispy edges. Alternatively, cook in a dry frying pan over high heat until warmed through. As you cook the tortillas, keep them covered with a tea towel to keep them warm and soft.
6. To serve, fill the warm tortillas with the pulled pork, pickled onion, shredded cabbage and coriander.
