Any meal that can be prepared simply, then cooked slowly without too much fuss and bother is a winner in busy times. Slow cooking a pork shoulder with a few simple flavours is perfect — you can pop it in the oven and forget about it. This means more time for other things. Don’t forget to season the pork well. Then enjoy the crackling and succulent meat, with your favourite vegetables.
