Instructions

For the BBQ sauce

Put all the ingredients for the BBQ sauce together in a saucepan. Stir together.
Heat on middle-high heat for about 15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Taste the sauce and season with salt or cayenne pepper if necessary.
Take from the heat and let cool down.
You’ll only need 5 tbsp of the BBQ sauce for this recipe. This recipe makes some more sauce. You can use that to serve it with the pulled pork and also use it in other dishes.

The pulled pork

Mix all the ingredients for the spice mix in a bowl.
Pat the meat dry with kitchen paper and rub it with the spice mix. Massage the mix well into the meat on all sides.
Cover the meat and put the meat in the refrigerator overnight.
The next day: heat a teaspoon of butter in a pan and fry the meat on all sides for a few minutes, so that it is seared.
Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker. Then mix 5 tbsp barbecue sauce with 100 ml (3.4 fl. oz) water in a bowl and pour this over the pork shoulder after you have placed the meat in the slow cooker. Set the slow cooker on high for 5-6 hours.
After this, you can pull the pork apart with two forks.
Check the text above the recipe for some tips on how to serve the pulled pork.

Notes

*One ingredient you might have noticed is worchestershire sauce. This sauce contains onion and garlic. But Monash University has tested this and it is low FODMAP up to 2 tablespoons. That’s why I use it in the barbecue sauce. If you prefer not to use this, you can replace the worchestershire sauce with 1 tsp soy sauce with 1 tsp lemon juice or vinegar and 1/4 tsp sambal (red pepper paste).

Note that Worchestershire sauce is also not gluten-free, so if you want to make this recipe gluten-free you can replace it with the above and using gluten-free soy sauce.
