Pickled Pork image

I don't know if you can get pickled pork outside Australia, but it's quite common here. My mum used to by a piece of it every year for Christmas, but we buy it about once a month as it's pretty cheap and great cold on sandwiches. It's very similar to corned beef which we also cook for lunch meat so I came up with this way of cooking it to give it a flavour of its own. We love it still warm with a German type potato salad and mustard on the first night.

Time 2h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1 onion, peeled and cut into chunks
2 garlic cloves, peeled and lightly crushed
1 teaspoon peppercorn, lightly crushed
2 slices orange peel (about 2 inches each)
1 star anise
1 1/2 kg pickled pork

Steps:

  • Mix the first 7 ingredients and a couple of cups of cold water together in a saucepan large enough to hold the piece of pork.
  • Add the pork and more water (enough to cover the pork); give it all a bit of a stir around to combine.
  • Bring to the boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer; cook for 2 hours (40 minutes per 500g of meat).
  • Allow to cool for about 2 hours in the stock.
