Pulled Pork Sliders

These Pulled Pork Sliders are an absolute crowd-pleaser! Perfect for any gathering, these sliders promise a flavour-packed experience that will have your guests coming back for seconds. Get ready to savour the delectable blend of tender pulled pork infused with smoky spices, nestled in our soft Dinner Rolls. This easy recipe is a must try!

Ingredients

• 2 kg pork shoulder (bone-in)
• 2 tbsp smoked paprika
• 2 tsp fennel seeds
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp ground mustard powder
• ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
• Salt
• Ground black pepper
• Few sprigs of thyme
• 1 ½ cups apple juice
• ½ cup barbecue sauce
• 24 Coupland’s Dinner Rolls

Method

1. For the best-tasting pork, rub with spices and herbs, then place in a baking dish. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 8 hours to allow flavour to absorb.
2. Preheat the oven to 130ºC. Pour the apple juice around the pork and cover with tin foil. Place in the oven and cook for 5 hours. Remove the foil and cook for a final 20 mins. Check to make sure there is at least 2cm of liquid surrounding the pork (add extra apple juice if not). You will be able to tell when the pork is cooked because it will be succulent and falling off the bone!
3. Once cooked, pour the liquid from the pork into a bowl and allow to cool (skim off the fat as it rises).
4. Remove the skin, fat, and bone from the pork. Then using two forks, flake the pork into small shredded pieces and place in a bowl.
5. Combine the liquid in a saucepan with barbecue sauce and simmer until the sauce is thick. Mix the sauce with the pork.
6. Heat the dinner rolls in the oven and then fill with pulled pork & enjoy!

For extra fancy sliders, serve with coleslaw for a bit of crunch!

Ice Cream Sandwiches

The only thing that makes warm heated Super Choc Chip Cookies better in our opinion, is a scoop of ice cream sandwiched between two!

How to make Ice Cream Sandwiches

Ingredients:

• 2 Cookies – we used Super Choc Chip
• 1 small Scoop of Ice Cream – we used Strawberry

Method:

1. Take the Ice Cream out of the freezer.
2. Place the Cookies on a dish and put in the microwave for 10 seconds to heat slightly.
3. Take Cookies out of the microwave.
4. Scoop one small scoop of Ice Cream and put it on top of one heated Cookie.
5. Place the other Cookie on top of that and eat! Delicious!

Tips:

• Don’t limit yourself to just cookies either, think outside the box and try alternatives like Chocolate Brownie, Donuts or Lolly Slice.
• If you don’t feel like eating the Ice Cream Sandwich immediately (but who won’t), feel free put in a small container or wrap with Glad Wrap and put in the freezer for later.
• Want something extra sweet? Drizzle some Ice Cream topping (e.g. Caramel Sauce or Choc Wizz) on the scoop of Ice Cream before putting the top Cookie on
• Or, want to make it fun for the kids? Get the sprinkles out and roll the small scoop of Ice Cream in that before sandwiching between the two Cookies.
