Curried pulled pork with brioche buns

Pulled pork is a perennial favourite, it's wonderful all year around, from summer barbecues and informal family weekend lunches to teenage weekend sleepovers. It makes a great meal for the colder months, ideally suited to Bonfire Night, Halloween or as a cosy comfort dish for midweek supper. This recipe steers away from the usual barbecue flavoured pulled pork and uses Patak's tikka masala spice paste as both a marinade and the cooking sauce, creating a meltingly tender pork dish that has just the right amount of Indian spices infused throughout it.

Serve this curried version of a Stateside classic with toasted brioche buns, aioli and coleslaw or a simple carrot salad for a delicious, hot sandwich that will go down a treat with children and adults alike. There are two cooking versions shared below, a slow cooker method and a very low conventional oven method – choose the method that's best for you.
