- Place the pork rub spices into a large zip lock bag and shake to mix. Place the pork into the zip lock bag and shake to coat the pork in the spices. Remove the pork from the bag and rub the mustard onto the pork.
- Pre-heat the electric frypan on heat setting 3 for 3 minutes. Add the vegetable oil and place the pork into the frypan, turn to brown all sides of the pork. When the pork is browned pour the Worcestershire sauce over the pork. Place the onion and garlic into the electric frypan and pour the apple juice and chicken stock into the frypan.
- Bring to the boil and then turn the dial to just below heat setting 1. Place the lid on top and cook for 4 hours – turning the pork every hour. If the liquid becomes dark in colour add a little more stock.
