Introduction
This dish benefits from being made the day before and is delightful served with fresh greens and rice.Method
- Place diced pork in a mixing bowl and add lime juice and zest. Mix through and set aside.
- Prepare onion and garlic, set aside.
- Blend coconut milk and stock together in measuring jug.
- Heat glug of oil in pan and add diced pork. Brown evenly in batches and set aside.
- Add another glug of oil if needed and cook onion gently until softened.
- Then add garlic and diced chilli peppers and cook for 1-2 mins.
- Return diced pork to pan, along with cinnamon stick, allspice, sugar and thyme.
- Add enough coconut milk/stock mix to cover meat, (you will not need all of this but may need to top up during cooking) bring to the boil whilst stirring.
- Reduce to low heat, cover and cook for approx. 2 hours or until meat tender.
- 10 mins before end of cooking blend through molasses. (the molasses not only adds flavour but gives depth of colour to this dish)
- Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
