Tropical Pulled Pork Sliders
I used what I had in my cupboard to make this pork, and the results were fantastic! I enjoy transforming an inexpensive cut of meat into something extraordinary.

TOP TIP
Quick Pork Roast
Whole bay leaves make my pork roast special. I simply cut small slits in the roast and insert three or four bay leaves. They add great flavor and wonderful aroma as the pork is cooking. It couldn’t be easier!
