Method

  1. 1

    Brown the pork shoulder in a pot, then add the bbq sauce, smoked paprika and 150ml water. Cover and simmer for 70-75 minutes until tender and shredding easily, with no pink remaining.

  2. 2

    Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan, gas 6). Mix the fine polenta, self-raising flour, egg, whole milk and melted butter to make a cornbread batter, pour into a small tin and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden and set.

  3. 3

    Warm the baked beans in a small pan.

  4. 4

    Shred the pork and serve with the cornbread and baked beans.
