Rub the salt and smoked paprika all over the meat, pressing it in well.

Wrap the pork tightly in a large double layer of foil, pouring the water in before you seal it. Set in a roasting tin.
- 4
Roast for 5 hours until the meat is completely tender and falls apart.

Cook the rice following the packet instructions about 20 minutes before the pork is ready.
20 min - 6
Rest the wrapped pork for 15 minutes, then unwrap into the tin. Shred the meat with two forks and toss through the juices.

Serve piled on the rice with lime wedges. Cabbage or coleslaw on the side goes well.
