1 can Guinness (440ml)
1 cup soda water (250ml approx)
1 tbs brown sugar.
Instructions
Add all ingredients to slow cooker
Cook 8 hours on low
Optional
Use 1 cup pan juices combined with 3T gravox/gravy powder, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup milk and pepper to make gravy.
The above recipe is amazing, (even better than my grandmothers) which I found a few years back on a WordPress and I guess you could use any beer, but I think it's the richness of the Guinness that subtly malts it and adds that richness and cuts through the briny salt which is such a great umami/ sweet/ salty balance you want.
I INSIST ON A FEW CLOVES IN MY CORNED BEEF HOWEVER STILL, but for pickled pork, the above recipe is the bomb, serve with mashed/roast/ or a steamed potatoe and green vegs. That's it.
Virtually cooks itself in slow cooker all day, just slice add veg, and choose your sauce/gravy.
I get a huge kick out of turning cheap cuts of meat into something amazing.
Anyone can make this, my 11 year old made it independently a few weeks ago.
And she still struggles with her yoyo
Note- Depending on your slow cooker, I have two sizes, but if you have only a large one you may need to babysit it for the day, ( at least the first time you make it) and top up with a little more soda water to prevent it drying out.
I use my medium size slow cooker to prevent evaporation.
However if you have a large family, you may need the "monster size" if so, just add soda water as needed guys.
Honestly, noone can stuff this recipe. Not even kids
If you want to impress family and or friends or just yourself even, and create an incredible homely smell throughout your home all day and evening, make neighbours jelous etc, and create the illusion that you slaved over a stunningly simple meal all afternoon, yet do very very little, this is the perfect choice.
Definitely a perfect Guy dish.
It's like magic, put piece of pickled pork in slow cooker, add your 3 ingredients and kick back and let it do it's thing all day while you watch the sport .
