INGREDIENTS
For the Pork:
- 2Ib (907g) pork shoulder, trimmed and cut into 3-inch (7.5cm) chunks
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon ground oregano
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1½ cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 8 brioche buns
For the Slaw:
- ½ head of green cabbage, thinly shredded
- 1 Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
METHOD
-
In a large bowl, combine the pork, brown sugar, chili powder, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and cinnamon. Massage the seasonings into the meat.
-
In a large saucepan (or in your Instant Pot using the saute function) heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat. Working in small batches, add the pork to the pan and sear on all sides.
-
Add the pork, beef broth, liquid smoke, apple cider vinegar, and barbecue sauce to the Instant Pot. Close the lid and set the valve to the sealing position before cooking on high pressure for 1 hour.
-
Once done, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then do a quick release to release any remaining pressure.
-
Open the lid and remove the cooked pork shoulder. Transfer it to a large bowl and use two forks to shred the meat.
-
To make the apple slaw, in a large bowl, combine the cabbage, apple, carrots, mayonnaise, and white vinegar. Mix well until combined. Add the sugar, then add salt and pepper to taste.
-
Serve the pulled pork topped with the apple slaw on brioche buns and enjoy!

Growing up in Germany, Verena remembers two camps when it came to potato salad: camp mayo and camp oil/broth.
One of my guilty go-to takeaways, perfect with a homemade flatbread and a yogurt dip. It’s so moreish and a lot cheaper than ordering in.
What better way to welcome the weekend than with the smell and sound of frying herb-loaded ijeh?
‘Fish doesn’t have to be boring—my mother taught me that. Samkeh harra translates to “spicy fish,” though it’s more about a gentle kick than true heat. It’s a perfect balance of creamy, nutty tahini and the crunch of golden, roasted nuts. Oh, I do love nuts! I usually overload my plate so you almost can’t see the fish anymore, but that’s me. The nuts bring a deep, toasty richness that elevates the dish into something truly irresistible.’
These festive pavlovas are dipped in white chocolate and topped with toasted hazelnuts, cream and berry sauce to make an impressive dessert.
Think of this as exactly what Nando’s wishes it was: vibrant spicy chicken with crispy skin served with crunchy fries and a spicy dipping sauce. Piri piri chillies aren’t widely available in Australia, unless you grow them yourself, but bird’s-eye chillies are easy to find and they do the trick.
I don’t remember much about the circumstances of my first cherry clafoutis. But I must have loved the classic French farmhouse dessert, because I’ve been trying to reproduce that first custardy, almond-scented pancake ever since.
Not quite a red curry, not quite a satay, this dish is the best of both worlds, inspired by Thai flavours and it is divine. It’s a throw-and-go recipe and I know we all love those at BOL. Perfect served with creamy coconut rice, some sliced red chilli and flatbreads.
Camellia Punjabi's recipe for the classic North Indian dish of stir-fried peppers with paneer is flavoured with a medley of spices and aromatics and makes for a brilliant vegetarian dish.
‘I always think that canapés should box slightly above their weight – in other words, they need to be vividly flavoured to succeed. Here, the combination of crisp brioche, salty feta, pickled walnuts, figs, honey and thyme is just that. If you like, there’s a recipe for pickling your own green walnuts on page 275 of Rick Stein’s Christmas. You can also make this with slices of goat’s cheese from a log instead of the whipped feta.’
