Batch cook: Cool the pork completely, then portion into lidded freezerproof containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight, then reheat in a pan on the hob until piping hot. Leftovers will keep in a lidded container in the fridge for up to 5 days
If you don’t have a slow cooker you can cook this in the oven using a casserole: Set your oven to 130ºC fan/gas 2. Add all the ingredients (except the coriander/limes) to the casserole and add 275ml water. Top with a cartouche (compostable baking paper cut to slightly larger than the casserole, wet slightly, then scrunched up). Put the lid on and cook for 3 hours. Check the pork, stirring and adding a little more water if it looks too dry. It should be saucy and rich. With a slow cooker there’s no need to brown any ingredients. If you’re using a flameproof casserole you could brown the onions and meat first with a little oil to add some caramelisation.
