I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Grind the spices for 20 secs./slowly increasing to speed 10.
Set aside.
Chop the garlic for 4 secs./speed 5
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix for 3 secs./speed3
Heat a large pan with the fat or oil and fry the pork on all sides until well caramalised. Make sure you crisp up the skin on the top.
Arrange in a small baking dish that is just large enough to hold all the pork. Make sure you arrange it so the skin is facing the top.
Carefully pour in the marrinade, making sure it comes at least 3/4 up the side of the pork.
Braise in a medium oven (160C-170C) for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Watch it carefully to ensure the liquid is high enough, adding more apple juice or water as needed and that the skin crisps up well but does not burn.
Once cooked set the pork aside or lay on a baking tray and crisp the skin under a grill, while you reduce the braising liquid until thick and syrupy to use as a dipping sauce.

Tip
You can of course make much more by doubling or trippling the recipe. But the best thing is to combine these with my Stuffed Chicken Wings as part of a banquet along with some steamed rice (or Cauli-Rice) and other simple dishes.
