Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas 9 / air fryer 200C
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Pull out a medium saucepan, 2 medium bowls, a measuring jug, a peeler & a grater or julienne peeler

Get the potatoes on

  • Halve the potatoes, then score a cross deep into the flesh (careful not to cut all the way through)
  • Place onto the lined baking tray, skin-side up, drizzle with 1 tsp oil and season with salt
  • Roast for 30-35 mins / air fryer 25-30 mins, until soft and golden

Prep time

  • Meanwhile, trim and finely slice the cabbage. Coarsely grate the carrot (peel optional), or use a julienne peeler if you have one. Finely slice the spring onion. Deseed and thinly slice the chilli. Halve the lime. Quarter the tomatoes

Make the slaw & salsa

  • To a medium bowl, add the cabbage, carrot and chilli (for those who'd like the heat), yoghurt, juice from half the lime and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Mix to combine and set aside
  • Add the tomatoes, spring onion and juice from the remaining lime to the other medium bowl. Add 1 tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt, then mix and set aside

Simmer the pork

  • Heat the medium saucepan with 1 tsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the paprika and cook for 1 min, then stir in the ketchup, tamari, honey and 100ml water (50ml for 1 person)
  • Bring to the boil, then add the pork and all its juices from the bag, gently pulling apart any larger pieces. Simmer for 8-10 mins, until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Share the jacket potatoes between plates, topped with the pulled pork. Spoon over the salsa. Serve the slaw on the side
