Step 1
[Pulled Pork] Prep 4 carrots, 4 apples, and 4 red onions (cut in half). Strip the leaves from a bunch of sage to create a trivet base in a roasting tray.
Step 2
[Pulled Pork] Place the pork shoulder on the trivet. Drizzle with olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, and freshly grated nutmeg, rubbing it all over.
Step 3
[Pulled Pork] Toss the trivet ingredients under the pork, add a whole garlic bulb (in skin), and roast in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 2 hours, then at 150°C (300°F) for another 3 hours.
Step 4
[Pulled Pork] Remove from the oven, shred the meat using two forks, chop up the crackling, squeeze the roasted garlic paste into the meat, and mix everything with the pan juices.
Step 5
[Veggie Chilli] Char corn cobs, spring onions, and peeled garlic cloves in a hot, dry pan. Cut sweet potatoes into 2cm chunks.

Important Notes
These batch-cooked recipes are designed to be portioned up, bagged, and frozen, saving you lots of time and money in the future.
When roasting vegetables for the 5-Veg Tomato Sauce, leaving the lid off in the oven helps concentrate and caramelize their natural sugars, making the sauce incredibly sweet and rich without added sugar.
Only parboil macaroni for 5 minutes when making Mac & Cheese; it will finish cooking in the oven, absorbing the delicious cheese sauce instead of water.
