Transcript: How to Make BBQ Crockpot Pulled Pork

Hi, I'm Nicole Chmura for About.com Food, and today I'm going to show you how to make a recipe that's steeped in southern tradition, barbecue pork.

Pulled Barbecue Pork Ingredients

The ingredients for this recipe are simple:

• 1 pork shoulder (make sure the piece of pork will fit into your slow cooker)
• 1/4 cup of water
• salt and pepper
• barbecue sauce

The secret ingredient: patience, as time really is the key to success for this southern delicacy!

Add the Pork to the Crockpot

First, warm your slower cooker for approximately 15 minutes before placing the piece of pork inside. Salt and pepper the meat and pour 1/4 cup of water in the slow cooker. Turn the temperature to high for one hour. After time has past, turn the heat down to low for approximately seven to nine hours.

Keep the Crockpot Covered

Throughout the cooking process, try to resist taking too many peeks under the lid of the slow cooker, unless to check the liquid level, and to add a quarter cup at a time if needed. Each glimpse allows for significant heat to escape and ultimately adds about 20 minutes to the cooking time.

Remove the Pork From the Crockpot

After a good night's sleep or a full day of work, the pork should be very tender. Using extreme caution as it is incredibly hot, remove the pork shoulder and discard the fat and juices that remain in the slow cooker.

Shred the Pork

Once the piece of meat has had a few minutes to cool, use a fork and knife to chop, or if you're not afraid to get your hands dirty, shred the pork by hand for a truly homemade look.

Continue Cooking the Pulled Pork

Once the chopping and shredding is complete, return it to the slow cooker.

Add the Barbecue Sauce to the Crockpot

Mix in your desired amount of barbecue sauce and cook on low for another hour. Remember I told you, patience really does pay.

Serve the BBQ Pulled Pork

Serve on warm split sandwich buns with coleslaw on the side. Or if you would like to prove that you're a real southerner, not a Yankee, add the coleslaw directly to your sandwich.

How To Cook Coconut Rice Edward Omoto's picture By Edward Omoto

Rice is a very light food but also very rich in carbohydrates. It is a staple in many parts of the world and can be prepared in countless ways. One of the ways of preparing rice in the coastal region of Kenya is by using coconut. This unique way has largely contributed to one of the sweetest yet simplest preparation of this kind that I have ever seen.

To add a little excitement for the eyes of your guests, being one of the hardest shells with numerous values, the coconut shell can be trimmed so that it remains hollow like a bowl. Then it can be used as a substitute for a plate.

Ingredients:

• 2 cup of rice
• ½ cup of water
• Salt to taste
• 2 tbsp of ghee (clarified butter obtained from cow's milk)
• ½ cup of coconut juice

Method:

1. Clean the rice using cold water.
2. Heat the ghee in the pan and add rice. Turn the rice with a spoon till all of it is in contact with the ghee.
3. Add coconut juice and mix, then add salt to taste.
4. Add water and cook till water is evaporated.
5. Serve as an accompaniment of beans, meat or mushrooms.

This can serve 4 people.

Australian Recipe Collection

---

I really do not do much work on this site anymore, but at the time (1995-1997), there were not many Australian recipes online... since my late husband was Australian, I had decided to pick his brain for some of his favorite (and not so favorite =) ) Australian recipes! Please note, I AM NOT Australian, I don't possess the knowledge that he did about his country. If you have a recipe to contribute, please email me and I will add it.

*Please note*
I try to only have Authentic Australian recipes. Dishes from The Outback Steakhouse (i.e. Walkabout Soup, Bloomin' Onion, Jackaroo Chops, Alice Springs Chicken, etc) are NOT authentic Australian recipes.

If you have any question about what certain things are (castor sugar, capsicums, golden syrup, mixed spice, etc..) please refer to the cooking info section!
