Place a frying pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter.

Chop one onion and two cloves of garlic, then add them to the pan to sweat for a few minutes.

Add the shredded pulled pork and one or two tablespoons of tomato puree, along with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar.

Pour in half a pint of stock (water plus stock cube) and let it cook until the liquid evaporates and the mixture caramelizes.

Turn off the heat and set the mixture aside.

Peel the potatoes and place them in a microwave-safe dish, wrap it, and microwave for about 10 minutes.

Mash the potatoes with salt, pepper, and a knob of butter, adding milk if too stiff.

Spread a thick layer of the pulled pork mixture in a baking dish and cover it completely with mashed potatoes.

Press down the mashed potatoes to create shapes on top.

Sprinkle breadcrumbs or blitzed cornflakes on top before baking.

Bake in the oven at 180°C (360°F) for about 20 to 30 minutes until golden.
