Braised Pork - Porco Bafassa Carroz Recipe

400 g pork (tenderized by hitting it with the back of a cleaver)

50 ml chicken stock

1 tablespoon coriander (cilantro), chopped finely

1 tablespoon turmeric powder

2 tablespoons Madeira (a Portuguese white wine), or any cooking wine

3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped finely

4 shallots, peeled and chopped finely

2 sprigs scallion, chopped

Method:

Marinate pork overnight, in chicken stock, coriander, turmeric powder and wine.  Sauté garlic, shallots and scallion.  Add marinated pork and enough water to cover the meat.  Braise for 1 1/2 hours making sure that the water does not run dry.  Add more water if needed.  Put the braised pork into a deep-casserole dish and bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes.  Alternatively, you can stir-fry the braised pork over high flame for 1 to 2 minutes.
