  1. Rub the pork shoulder all over with the brown sugar, paprika, salt and black pepper.

  2. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and brown the pork on all sides, then transfer it to a slow cooker with the sliced onion and chopped garlic.

  3. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, until the pork is very tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.

  4. Lift out the pork and shred it with two forks. Stir through the BBQ sauce, adding a little of the cooking juice if needed.

  5. Fill the brioche buns with the pulled pork and coleslaw, then serve while warm.

Notes

For extra smoky flavour, finish the shredded pork on a hot barbecue for a few minutes before serving.
