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

Method : 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.
