Simple to prepare, but full of flavour...and quite affordable dish to impress your guests! This slow cooked pork will warm your cold winter night...

The ingredients:
  1.  A nice piece of pork shank 
  2. A bottle of good quality red wine. 
  3. Few cloves of garlic
  4. one onion (whole)
  5. large piece of ginger (crashed). 
  6. 500ml chicken stock
  7. Small pinch of cloves
  8. 2 star anise

Pre-heat the oven to 150'C. Heat a oven-proofed casserole pan. Fry lightly a few cloves of garlic, a chunk of ginger (sliced) and one large onion in some olive oil until soften and lightly brown. Add the pork shank and brown the meat all around. Add 500ml chicken stock and a whole bottle of red wine, few cloves and 2 star anise. Bring the liquid to the boil.

Remove the pan from the stove and place it in the pre-heated oven and let it slowly cook for few hours until the meat is falling off the bone. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped spring onion.

Serves it with mashed potatoes...Yum!

    About my cooking

    I started cooking when I was about 10 years old. Even now, I vividly remember my grandmother showing me how to dry-fry black beans over the charcoal stove. As I stood beside her watching the beans hitting the wok, their sound changed from a dull rustling to a lively high "tinging" pitch. A light dry smell, like burnt coffee, filled the kitchen.

    My aim is to cook appetising, yet humble, food that satisfies not only our taste buds and our stomachs, but also our eyes and imagination. I hope to use this blog to show how simple, affordable ingredients can be easily transformed into delicious and beautiful dishes for daily meals.
