Method

  1. Grind all the spices together with the crispy fried onions. (Chop – makes enough for up to 1.2 kg2¾ lb.) Thermomix /speed 9

    Our tip No Thermomix: crush the fried onions to fine crumbs in a spice grinder, or in a freezer bag with a rolling pin, then stir in the spices.

  2. Rub the pork neck with it and put it in the Combi pan. Weigh in the apple juice and cook /Low. Top up with apple juice if needed. (It also works at 120°C250°F/.)

    Our tip It's ready to pull when a fork twists easily in the thickest part. If it still resists, give it longer: pork neck is safely cooked long before it's tender enough to shred.

  3. Pull the pork neck apart with 2 forks and mix with 100–150 g½–⅔ cup cooking juices and BBQ sauce of your choice.

    Our tip Let the juices settle for a minute and spoon the fat off the top before you measure them out; pork neck gives off a lot, and it makes the meat greasy.
