This is a slow cooked pork recipe that it easy enough for midweek yet impressive enough for company.
A recipe that will rock your world! The only trick is to marinate the pork overnight to give it time to absorb all the spices and flavours and slow cook it in the oven for at least 7 hours!!!
My favourite recipes are easy, flavourful and satisfying. This slow-cooked pork ticks all the boxes. Its cooked while you go about your business.
