Ingredients:
  • 10.00 gm smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 5.00 gm ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 0.60 gm sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1kg boned pork shoulder
  • 62.50 ml plain flour
  • 510.00 gm chicken style liquid stock
  • 131.25 gm sparkling apple juice
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 10 jumbo taco shells
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber
  • 1 small red chilli, seeded, thinly sliced
  • 125.00 ml fresh coriander leaves
  • 125.00 ml bottled mild tomato salsa
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 160°C/140°C fan-forced. In a small bowl, mix paprika, coriander, cumin, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper. Place the pork on a large board and generously coat it with the spice mixture.
  • In a large flameproof casserole dish, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, turning occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes until browned all over. Transfer to a plate.
  • Sprinkle flour into the dish and cook while stirring for 2 minutes. Slowly blend in stock and apple juice until well combined. Toss in a bay leaf. Bring to a boil and introduce the pork. Cover and bake in the oven for 3 hours until the pork is tender, flipping it halfway through the cooking time.
  • Transfer the pork to a cutting board. Place the dish over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
  • Remove the pork rind and fat, shred the meat, then return it to the dish. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Cook the shells according to the packet instructions. Use a vegetable peeler to make long, thin cucumber ribbons. Mix the cucumber, chili, and coriander in a bowl. Fill the shells evenly with the pork mixture. Add the cucumber mixture on top. Drizzle with salsa and serve.
