Chand Sahrawat looks at food through the eyes of Zoya, her *hospobaby. Here's the recipe for pulled pork Chand adopted from a Martha Stewart recipe.
*"Hospo”, short for hospitality, is a term used regularly in the hospitality industry. Chand and Sid Sahrawat own the restaurants, Sidart and Cassia, so their daughter Zoya has been part of the hospitality industry from day one, hence the term “hospobaby”
Ingredients
1 Tbsp | Brown sugar |
¾ cup | Tomato ketchup |
4 | Garlic cloves, finely chopped |
¾ tsp | Sage, dried |
½ tsp | Dried oregano |
1 tsp | Salt |
½ tsp | Freshly ground black pepper |
1 kg | Pork shoulder, boneless, trimmed of excess fat |
1 | Chipotle pepper, use up to 2 chillies, in adobo sauce (La Morena) optional |
Directions
- In a slow cooker, stir together ½ cup ketchup, sugar, garlic, sage, oregano, salt and pepper
- Cut pork in half lengthwise and add to the slow cooker, turning to coat.
- Cover and cook on low until meat is very tender and falling apart, about 8 hours (or on high for 6 hours).
