I am experimenting with spice mixes from Taste Sensation Ltd; their Tex Mex marinade was wonderful so I arranged to get samples of their popular blends.
As this is an experiment I bought 1.4kg of pork shoulder and got the butcher to cut it into three slices. This recipe uses one of those slices. I can use the other two to experiment with more of the Taste Sensation seasonings.

Serving suggestions
There are lots of great ways to serve pulled pork:
- In rolled up soft flour tortillas with crispy lettuce and onions
- In taco shells with a salad mix and sour cream
- As you would serve roast pork
- As a pizza topping
- As part of a tapa
Chef's notes
This was very, very good. Impressed with the Cajun Seasoning, not too hot but had tangy, herby notes. I needed to add a little extra liquid near the end, but only 50 ml or so.
