Ingredients

1½kg boneless pork shoulder, rind removed and cut into 6 chunks
2 garlic cloves , crushed
2 tbsp tomato purée
1 tbsp chipotle paste
1 orange , juiced
2 limes , juiced
432g can pineapple , juice only (save the chunks for the salsa, below)
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
grating of fresh nutmeg

handful of coriander , chopped
1 lime , juiced
1 red chilli , chopped (optional)
8-10 taco shells or wraps
½ red cabbage , finely shredded
1 avocado , sliced

Steps:

Put the pork in a large, lidded ovenproof dish with the remaining ingredients and mix well to coat. If you can, chill and marinate overnight.
Heat the oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1. Put the lid on the dish and cook on the middle shelf for 4 hrs. Check after 2 hrs and spoon over the juices. Check the meat is tender by pulling it apart with two forks. If it resists, cook for 1-2 hrs more.
Mix the ingredients for the salsa in a bowl and warm the tacos. Shred the pork and remove any fat or sinew. Serve with the cabbage, avocado, soured cream and salsa.
