Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons neutral oil, like grapeseed or canola
2 to 3 pounds boneless pork butt or shoulder
Salt and pepper to taste
10 shallots, peeled and left whole
1 or 2 small chilies, stemmed, seeded and minced, or dried chilies, or to taste
1 inch-long piece ginger, peeled and minced
2 or 3 cans unsweetened coconut milk, or as needed
1 tablespoon nam pla (Thai fish sauce) or soy sauce, or to taste
Juice of a lime, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Put oil in a large deep skillet or casserole that can later be covered; turn heat to medium-high. Brown pork on all sides, turning as necessary, and adjusting heat so the meat browns but does not burn. This will take about 20 minutes. Season it with a little salt and pepper.
  • When the pork is just about browned, add shallots, chilies and ginger; brown a bit, then add about 2 cups coconut milk and the nam pla. Bring to boil, cover, and adjust heat for a steady simmer. Cook, turning occasionally, for at least 90 minutes, or until the pork is tender; add additional coconut milk if mixture dries out.
  • When the pork is tender, remove to a platter. Stir lime juice into sauce; taste, and adjust seasoning, adding more chili, nam pla or lime juice as necessary. Carve meat, and serve it with sauce.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it turned out much better.

This dish was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I would recommend using less chili pepper if you don't like spicy food.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The coconut milk gave it a creamy, rich flavor and the chicken was so tender. I served it with jasmine rice and a side of vegetables, and it was the perfect meal.
