- You can now add the onion to the casserole dish and brown for a few minutes until softened.
- Add to the onion the pineapple juice, the bay leaf and the Tomato Stir in Sauce with ½ cup of added water.
- You can now add back into this sauce the pork shoulder and cover the top of your casserole dish with a layer of foil and the dish lid, to ensure you keep all the juices and steam in the dish for slow cooking.
- Now you can put the casserole dish with pork into your preheated oven for 3 hours or until the meat is fully cooked and tender and falling apart.
- 10 minutes before your pork is ready to come out of your oven you can heat the Stand 'n' Stuff Soft Tortillas in the same oven for 7-9 minutes on 160c on a baking sheet, loosely covering the soft taco's in foil or you can heat in a microwave on full power for about 30 seconds.
- To make the Mango salsa all you need to do is slice the mango into small pieces, and chop you onion and coriander up small and combine all with a squeeze of lime juice.
- Also mix the sour cream with the Seasoning Sachet of cooling sour cream topping so its ready to serve.
