Whilst I was busy making the pulled pork extravaganza... Nat was busy whisking, beating, stirring and crushing lots of different flavours together to create one of our new favourites... mini chocolate tarts.
With endless flavours at our finger tips we researched, tasted and tested a few different ideas to finally come up with 6 different flavours.
Nat used chocolate ripple biscuits crushed up and stirred with butter the make the base of these yummy tarts and once they were set she filled them with:
- Chocolate Orange
- Chocolate Mint
- Peanut Butter
- Salted Caramel
- Honey Comb
- Oreo
In celebration of our dear friend Scott's birthday, Nat and I decided to host a picnic last weekend in his honour. I began on Friday night by preparing a 2kg shoulder of pork, covered in a rub with garlic, paprika, mustard and other delicious things.
On Saturday I placed the pork in the oven and let it cook on a very low heat for about 6 hours... by this time the meat melted as you gently shifted it with a fork. After reducing a yummy sauce I pulled the meat apart using 2 forks and coated it in the sauce. I made a slaw with fennel, cabbage and apple with a light creamy dressing, and to top it all off we even had some yummy crispy crackling!!
Between the cheeks of a freshly made bap roll (courtesy of bakers delight- trust me they are delicious!) I placed a heaped spoonful of the pork mix, then the slaw, then a sprinkling of the crackling.. and voila.. a pulled pork roll! Mine didn't last long and it was lucky we ran out of rolls as I probably would have eaten about 20 more, it was that yummy!!
The recipe has been taken from a fellow blogger 'notwithoutsalt' which I adapted slightly. It is truly delicious, and if you are even having a quiet weekend and will be home to tend to the oven, I highly recommend this recipe!
