PRÉPARATION

Marinade

1. Place the pork shoulder in a deep container. Mix together all marinade ingredients. Pour over pork shoulder. Cover and marinate overnight in a refrigerator.

2. Place the pork shoulder and marinade in an ovenproof dish. Cover and bake at 275°F for 4 hours. Turn pork shoulder halfway through cooking. When the meat pulls apart easily with a fork, remove from marinade and let cool.

3. Shred the meat with a fork or your fingers. Pour the marinade into a pot and reduce over medium heat until 1 ½ cups of thick sauce is obtained (from 20 to 30 minutes). Mix the shredded meat with the sauce and keep warm.

Cider fried onions

1. Place flour in a bowl. Add cider, egg yolks, oil and coriander and whisk mixture.

2. Set aside at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.

3. In a bowl, beat the egg whites and add salt until stiff peaks form.

4. Use a spatula and carefully mix the egg whites into the first mixture.

5. Heat oil in a frying pan to medium-high or a deep fryer to 350°F. Coat the slices of onion in frying batter and fry a few slices at a time until nicely browned.

6. Drain on paper towel. Keep warm.

Spicy mayonnaise

1. Mix all ingredients into the mayonnaise. Adjust seasoning to taste. Set aside.
