Pot Roasted Pork Recipe

This is not eaten as a one-sitting meal, but prepared and then used in a number of dishes requiring cooked pork, just as barbecued pork fillet is used in a Chinese cooking.

Ingredients :

1.5 - 2 kg Leg of pork

5 cloves Garlic

2 teaspoons Salt

1/2 teaspoon Ground black pepper

1 tablespoon Fish sauce

1 tablespoon Oil

1 cup Water

• Slice four of the garlic cloves.

• Make small deep incisions in the pork with tip of a small knife and insert slices of garlic in each.

• Crush remaining garlic clove with salt, mix with pepper and fish sauce and rub well all over the pork.

• Heat oil in a large deep fireproof casserole or heavy saucepan and brown the pork all over on medium heat.

• Add water, allow it to come to the boil, then turn heat low, cover tightly and cook for 1 1/2 hours or until pork is well cooked.

• Turn the piece of pork 3 to 4 times during cooking so that all sides come into contact with the base of the pot.

• Allow it to cool, then slice and serve with salad, or use in other dishes requiring pork.

• Serve.
