Pulled Pork The easiest thing you will make this year. And, in this blogger’s opinion, the tastiest. Sometimes the simple stuff is the best.

Pulled Pork

2 onions, sliced
3 bay leaves
1 tbsp mustard powder
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp black pepper
Pinch salt flakes
3lb pork shoulder, rind removed, rolled and tied
5oz tomato ketchup
4 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
3 tbsp dark brown sugar
