The big news is that after 7 years of all the fun of running My Farm Shop, we are shutting up shop after delivery of the 2019 Christmas Hams.

Thank you to all the customers who have supported us to help spread the word about regenerative and sustainable production practices. We are very proud of you all and the fact that you choose to use your purchasing power to support farmers that are doing the right thing.

You'll still see or hear of us around the world of Regenerative Agriculture, as we're putting our energies into some exciting new projects in that space.

This is a dish for a lazy weekend. The long, slow cooking produces tender, juicy meat which just falls apart. Use any leftover pork to make the shredded pork sandwiches.

Serves 4 (Preparation time 15 mins, cooking time 2 hours 15 mins)

Preheat the oven to 160C.

Place the garlic, onion, chilli and vinegar in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Stir through the sauces, cajun spice mix and coriander and set aside.

Place a large heavy-based casserole over medium-high heat and spray with cooking oil. Cook the pork, in two batches if necessary, for 3-4 minutes until browned all over, then remove and set aside. Add the spicy sauce mixture to the casserole and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes until the onion is cooked.

Return the pork to the casserole, pour in the chicken stock, season to taste with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Cover, then transfer to the oven and cook for 2 hours until the pork is falling apart.

Meanwhile, for the cabbage, combine all ingredients and 2 tablespoons of water in a medium-sized saucepan, season to taste with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes until the cabbage is soft but still retains some bite. Remove the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes until the cabbage is soft but retains some bite.

Using a slotted spoon, remove the pork from the sauce and transfer to a chopping board. Roughly shred with two forks, then return to the sauce and gently heat through until warm.

Finely chop the reserved onion and chilli and mix together.

Divide the warm red cabbage among plates and top with some pork and sauce. Garnish with the onion and chilli and serve.

Tip: Instead of the cabbage, you could serve this with steamed greens simply dressed with lemon juice if desired.
