Aromatic Eastern Slow-Cook Pork

Ingredients
(Serves 4)
900g (2lb) lean boneless pork collar, shoulder or leg joint
2.5cm (1 inch) root ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, squashed
30ml (2tbsp) soy sauce
200ml carton orange juice
5ml (1tsp) sesame oil
30ml (2tbsp) brown sugar
30ml (2tbsp) hoisin sauce

Method
Take the pork, cut the string off the joint and flatten it out. Cut it into 6-8 large chunks removing any excess fat.

In an ovenproof casserole, mix together the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, orange juice, sesame oil, brown sugar and hoisin sauce. Add the pork chunks and mix together.

Cover with lid and cook for about 2 hours until the meat is very tender and almost falling apart. (Add a little extra orange juice if you like it more saucy.)

Serve with rice and a stir-fry of mixed mushrooms, mange tout and torn basil leaves.
