The other week we thought we should get some meat that we could slow cook. Market Meats had a 2kg piece of pork neck that looked promising. So we got it. Turns out it was all meat and not meat with bones in the middle. Winning!
Found a recipe online that seemed simple enough.
So mix up a heap of garlic, a tablespoon of bacon fat (cause I had some, otherwise just use oil) and a heap of thyme (I can't remember if I added that parsley at the end).
Rub it all over the pork
They said "a handful of bayleaves" so I probably could have used more (hey! I'm not driving!)
Come back five or six hours later
Shred it all up
I didn't get any photos, but at the end, take all the sauce from the slow cooker and boil it up with a stock cube (that bone broth in the photo above was all solidified), 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, a generous tbsp corn flour, maybe a cup or so of water (not sure how much I used - I thought I used too much but I think it was ok). Boil it all for a bit til it thickens.
Edit: did this again and got a photo this time. Also, don't add a cup of water, only add enough to make a slurry - it'll be a lot quicker to thicken!
Then mix it all back in the slow cooker.
I had to put some in the freezer, then we spent the next two weeks getting through the rest of the leftovers! So good!!!!
