Dinner

We have been planning pulled pork since the Pork Shoulder arrived in our Keller Crafted meat box this month. We keep it simple, braising on a bed of onion and garlic cloves with chicken stock.

After three hours it was perfect and pulled apart beautifully. We served with a fresh corn – cut right off the cob into the salad – and “spicy” black bean salad. No-one noticed the spice, but with the bell pepper and shallot it was a perfect, sharp foil to the pulled pork.

  • The pork shoulder is $18.94 and we’ll get six serves, or $3.16 per serve
  • Onion and garlic adds 10c per serve
  • Chicken stock is $3.99 a quart, and with one cup used 17c per serve
  • The corn was 50c and we’ll get four serves of the salad, or 13c per serve
  • The beans were 99c for a can, or 25c per serve
  • The bell pepper was $1.32 or 33c per serve
  • Add 15c for shallot and seasoning.

A really well balanced meal withe the pickled onion on top providing a sour crunch against the pulled pork, balanced with the freshness of the salad, for $4.29 per serve.
