About

Pork is such a wonderful meat and one of my favourite cooking methods is braising. This Braised Pork recipe combines the pork with rhubarb, a delicious accompaniment to any fatty meat.

This pork recipe produces lots of juices which make a lovely sauce.

My other love of this braised pork recipe is its versatility. The cooked pork is delicious served with vegetables, the cold pork is lovely pulled from the bone and made into a salad, or a cold, spicy pork sandwich.
