Moroccan Pulled Pork with Fruity Couscous (from LovePork.co.uk)

Serves: 6

Prep time: 20 mins

Cooking time: 6 hours approx

Ingredients

1.6kg joint boneless pork shoulder (remove the rind/skin if you wish)

1 tbsp sea salt

2 tbsp Moroccan spice mix (Ras-el-hanout)

2 tbsp pomegranate molasses

2 preserved lemons, peeled & skin finely chopped. Discard the flesh (or use to give some zing to another听dish)

For the couscous:

300g couscous

Finely grated zest & juice of 1 lemon

400ml hot chicken stock

150g ready to eat apricots, roughly chopped

4 tbsp freshly chopped mint

200g pomegranate seeds

50g whole almonds

Preheat your oven to 220掳C, Gas Mark 7.

Line a roasting tin with a sheet of foil large enough to later cover the pork. Remove the string, unroll the pork & pat dry with kitchen paper & place in the tin.

Mix together the salt, Moroccan spice mix, pomegranate molasses & half the preserved lemon. Rub half the mix thoroughly all over the pork. Fold the pork back up.

Put it in the oven for 30 mins leaving the top uncovered so it browns beautifully.

Turn the oven down to 150掳C, Gas Mark 2. Take the pork out & fold the foil over the top. Pop it back into the oven & cook for about 5 hrs or until tender.

Crank up the oven to 220掳C, Gas Mark 7. Uncover the pork to crisp for 10 mins. Take it out of the oven, cover with foil & let it rest for 30 mins.听

Whilst the pork is resting, put the couscous in a large bowl & pour over the lemon juice & chicken stock. Cover with cling film & leave it until all the liquid has been absorbed.

Fluff with a fork, then stir in the rest of the ingredients.

Shred the pork into chunky pieces with 2 forks, stir in the rest of the spice mix & remaining chopped preserved lemon skin. Serve with the couscous.
