Directions

Step 1/7

Preheat oven to 150°C fan-forced.

Step 2/7

Combine oregano, garlic powder, paprika and pepper in a bowl. Spoon tomato paste onto the pork flesh. Sprinkle with lemon rind. Rub well to cover pork completely, then sprinkle oregano mixture all over to coat.

Heat oil in a large lidded heavy-based saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook pork for 5 mins each side or until spice coating is lightly browned.

Pour wine and stock into the saucepan and add onion and half of the lemon wedges. Bring to a simmer and cover with lid. Transfer to the oven and roast for 3 hours or until pork is falling apart. Carefully transfer pork to a plate.

Step 5/7

Remove cooked lemon wedges from cooking liquid, then bring liquid to the boil. Stir in honey and reduce heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 mins or until reduced slightly.

Step 6/7

Using 2 forks, shred pork into bite sized pieces. Drizzle a little of the reduced sauce mixture over the top.

Step 7/7

Serve pork with tzatziki dip, tomato, cucumber, mint, pita and remaining lemon wedges.
