Thermomix Pulled Pork Recipe - Melt in Your Mouth!

Pulled Pork is a lush juicy Mexican meat also known as Pork Carnitas. It's ideal for pulled pork burgers, burritos, nachos and even sandwich meat!

I love using the Thermomix Varoma for slow-cooked meats such as this pork carnitas recipe, and my very popular corned beef recipe. Using the Varoma allows the steam to gently cook the meat which produces the same moist, melt in the mouth results as a slow cooker, but, in a fraction of the time.

After visiting the “Barbecue States of America” and then Mexico, my husband and I came home with loads of recipes to try in our charcoal offset BBQ.  It was a labour of love because the results were unreliable. Although we eventually had success and were rewarded with beautiful moist smokey meats, the long cooking time was a real bummer.

Also, keeping the smoker at the correct temperature was a real chore. Plus cooking a brisket in the smoker could take 12 or more hours, making it an overnight affair.

That is how my second Thermomix cookbook, "A TexMex Fiesta" came to being. I wanted the flavour of Texas Barbecue and Mexican food without the long, slow cooking times.

In my Thermomix cookbook, I 've included 32 Texan barbeque or Mexican fiesta recipes which would pair nicely with this pulled pork recipe.

I have decided to give readers a little “taste preview” of my book and share one of my most popular recipes, pork carnitas or pulled pork. If you enjoy this recipe please take a look at some of the other dishes in my book. The full recipe index can be found on the shop page.

Pork Carnitas Substitute Ingredients

Mexican Oregano

If you can get Mexican oregano that's fabulous. The Mexican oregano is stronger in aroma and taste and softer in texture to the more common oregano.  I have provided links to various online Mexican ingredients here. However, If you wish to use regular oregano just add double the quantity.

Basic Cookbook Vegetable Stock Paste

The Thermomix Basic Cookbook Vegetable stock paste can be used instead of the 500ml of liquid stock. Simple substitute 4 teaspoon of stock paste and 500ml of water for the 500ml of liquid stock.

How to use your Pulled Pork

Pulled pork is ideal served as a filling for burritos, tacos, or in a brioche burger with a tasty slaw. Leftovers can be used on sandwiches for a delicious change from the usual sandwich meats.
