Sear the pork 

Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Rub the pork with 2 tbsp of the olive oil. Heat a large non-stick pan until very hot and sear the pork on all sides until golden brown.

Step 2
Glaze the meat

Place the meat on a wire rack in a roasting tin. Mix the paprika, mustard powder, garlic and onion salt, and some black pepper with the liquid smoke, if using. Brush all over the meat.

Step 3
Time to cook

Add 1 cup of water to the roasting tin, cover very tightly with foil and cook for 5 hrs or until almost falling apart.

Step 4
Shred the pork

Drain the juices from the meat into a measuring jug. Shred the pork using 2 forks, discarding the fat.

Step 5
Add the sauce

Skim off the fat from the juices. Mix 125ml of the juices with 4 tbsp BBQ sauce and pour over the meat. Keep warm until serving, or reheat.
