PULLED MEAT INSTRUCTIONS

1
Preheat the oven to 100 ˚C.
2
Rub the meat on all sides with oil, season with salt and pepper. Place it in a roasting pan, add water to a height of 1.5 cm, and cover thoroughly with aluminum foil.
3
Place in the preheated oven for 10 hours. Then remove the aluminum foil, baste with the pan juices, and return to the oven for another 4 hours.
4
Let the meat cool partially in the roasting pan so that it remains just warm. Then, using forks, shred it into small pieces directly in the roasting pan. Mix thoroughly with the pan juices in the roasting pan and transfer to a bowl.

Tip: For an especially delicate flavor, you can finish the sauce with a drop of lemon juice. Homemade spaetzle or wide noodles, which perfectly soak up the creamy sauce, are an excellent side dish.
