Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan-forced).
  • - In a baking dish, lay the pork, season generously with salt, and add onion, garlic, thyme, and stock. - Cover the dish and bake for 1 1/2 - 2 hours until the pork is tender. - For a crispy finish, broil the pork under a hot grill at the end of cooking. - Shred the meat, mix it with the cooking juices, onions, and garlic, and set aside.
  • Peel and cut potatoes into 1cm wide lengths. Soak in cold water until ready to use. Drain and pat dry before frying.

  • Heat a generous amount of oil in a large saucepan to around 170ºC. Fry the potatoes in batches for 4-6 minutes each. Transfer to a tray lined with paper towels to keep warm as you fry the rest of the potatoes.
  • Heat the oil to 190ºC and fry the chips for another 4 minutes to make them extra crispy.
  • Top hot and crispy fries with tender pulled pork, spicy chillies, fresh coriander, zesty lime, and crisp red onion for a scrumptious and flavorful dish.
