• 1 - 2 cups Fancy Hanks BBQ sauce
• 2 cups (500 ml) passata
• 2 cups (500 ml) chicken stock

Pico de gallo

To serve

Instructions

1. Cut pork shoulder into 3 large chunks, then combine with all the pulled pork ingredients in a large heavy-based saucepan. Ensure the pork is fully submerged, increase the BBQ sauce if needed. Place onto medium-high heat and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 hours, or until tender. Shred the meat using two forks.
2. When ready to serve, in a large mixing bowl, combine the pico de gallo ingredients and toss well to combine. Prepare the corn and rice.
