Ingredients :
2 kg
Leg of pork
1 tablespoon Oil
6 cloves Garlic
2 teaspoons Salt
1/2 teaspoon Ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Fish sauce
1 cup Water
Method :
Slice four of the garlic cloves to be
inserted into the meat. 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 hot with white rice.
