DESCRIPTION:

No two ways about it – this is a very much a treat night meal. It tastes so so good, is indulgent and satisfies you on so many levels. It’s good for you too with the Slow Cooked Lean Pork Shoulder, Egg, Broccolini, Spring Onions and Sweet Potato. However, it’s a high calorie meal for the volume, and it will take 6 hours in the slow cooker plus 30mins prep/cook time. We did leverage a packet sauce for the BBQ flavour and frozen Sweet Potato Fries for ease, but to be honest you could equally make this from scratch and hence be more in control of sauce richness and ingredient quality. Such a SUPER TASTY meal. Wow! Just park a bunch of your daily calories for dinner! 😋

This is a BIIIG plate. For a smaller portion, drop to half of the suggested BBQ Pulled Pork and associated ingredients (¼ of total pot) and half the Sweet Potato Fries. This is the portion size Michelle enjoys. This would save you 716 calories, without compromising on the flavours whatsoever.
