If you have been searching for an easy pulled pork recipe with a Thermomix, this version delivers big smoke-house taste with minimal washing up.
Preparation tips
- Rub the pork fillet with the smoked paprika, mustard powder, chilli flakes and sea salt at least an hour ahead so the spices penetrate the meat deeply before it goes into the Varoma.
- Shred the steamed pork with two forks while it is still warm, then toss it back into the sauce so every strand absorbs the smoky barbecue and cider vinegar flavours.
- Toast the brioche burger buns cut-side down in a dry pan and add a spoonful of coleslaw for freshness; leftover pulled pork keeps well covered in the fridge for two days.
Recipe variations
- For a spicier version, increase the chilli flakes and stir a spoonful of extra Dijon mustard into the sauce; a dash more cider vinegar adds a sharper, tangier edge adults love.
- Make it gluten-free by serving the pulled pork in gluten-free buns or over baked potatoes, and swap the brioche for lactose-free rolls if dairy is a concern.
