The other day, on a whim, I bought a chunk of pickled pork from Coles. Yesterday, day off, I threw it in the slow cooker with some carrots, onions, bay leaves, cider vinegar and a bit of sugar and let it cook for 8 hrs or so (was out of the house doing stuff so I may have overcooked it. Still, I was rewarded with about a kg of tender, fall apart meat and some tasty salty-sweet stock. Now, I am not sure what to do with it 
.
I was expecting it to come out more...solid, that I could slice like a roast, or boiled ham. Instead I got pulled pork material. First time I cooked pickled pork like that. I usually rinse the meat well, smoke it in my tiny stove-top kettle smoker and finish it in the oven or the BBQ
I pulled some of it and kept it for sandwiches, tacos etc. I also left some chunks whole.
Any idea how to serve them? Was thinking of making a thin bechamel, or even an hollandaise sause and serve it with that, brown rice or boiled taters and veg. Any other ideas?
