Sometimes the best recipes come about by me "experimenting". 

Early one morning I knew I had a really busy day scheduled (before I had the restaurant) and I wanted to get dinner organised while I had time.

A family of meat eaters and a large pork shoulder in the fridge waiting to be roasted but decided that the slow cooker was the better way to go. 

While drinking my coffee I rubbed my shoulder (the pork not mine) with Noccas and threw  another tablespoon full of Noccas in the bottom of the slow cooker along with the pork and a teaspoon of Himalayn salt

Before I put the lid on I thought I had perhaps better put some liquid in as well to keep it moist, previously I have used a can of coke or a can of beer, both options were a hit with the family but I wanted a sugar free option and something a little different .

Looking around the kitchen I spotted the half empty coffee plunger ...... " ah ha!" ..... (yep the light bulb went on in my head) and you guessed it ... I added 1 cup of extremely strong unsweetened GOOD black coffee, it has to be really good coffee (like when cooking with wine, if you won't drink it don't use it in your cooking).

I popped the lid on, set the slow cooker on low,  8 hours later pulled the most tender and juicy pork apart with two forks.

Then to the families delight I  served it up with freshly made tortilla's, some Tomatillo Salsa along with paper thin, sliced, grilled zucchini, carrots and buttered brussel sprouts with chilli.

They all agreed it was the best pork they had ever eaten! 

Years later in the restaurant it was a favourite with every meat eating customer!
