Pulled Pork Chilli

I’ve come to believe that pulled pork can make anything taste great. It is a highly requested dish on our home menu. This is a change up to the more traditional chilli dish, and the result is very special. The pork is cooked to tender perfection with the chilli before being shredded, then added back to the chilli. The chilli is a beautiful blend of capsicum, spices, beer, chilli, tomato paste, worcestershire sauce, tomatoes, coriander and even some dark chocolate added. Kidney & mixed beans round out the dish. Served on corn tortilla chips & topped with cheese before a final bake in the oven to melt the cheese and lightly toast the corn chips. A very special pulled pork dish.
