Pork cooked in cider

[bitter_dave]

I made this recipe up, so if you can think of any improvements I'd be interested to hear them

1) Set the oven to gas mark 4-ish.
2) Half and then slice two onions thinly. Cook slowly in a saucepan with a little olive oil and and a fair bit of butter.
3) Meanwhile, take a pork joint (I used a leg) and slice it reasonably thinly (under a cm thickness). Lay out the slices on a baking dish.
3) Cover the pork with a dry cider (I used Aspall Dry Suffolk Cider), add a generous amount of sage (I used dried but fresh would be better), salt and pepper. Add the now caramelised onion slices to the top. Cover the dish with foil, and bung in the oven.
4) I cooked it for an hour and a bit, although just cook it until it's done.
5) I served it with mash.

My Mum used to do this type of thing using a good old 70s slow cooker after searing the outside of it.

The meat was always incredibly tender and frankly delicious.

Excellent Did you use ginger in the end? - I'm going to try adding a bit next time

Try the Chorizo in cider if you like Tapas at all. Me, the missus and Jim all say "Yes"!
