Pulled Pork Recipes - Star Anise Pork Recipe

Serving Size : 6

1/2 cup chicken stock or canned low sodium broth

1/4 cup dry sherry

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp light brown sugar

2 star anise (or 1 tsp powdered), crushed

2 to 4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 tsp Chinese five spice powder

3 lb boneless pork shoulder, tied

salt and pepper

1 tbsp cilantro (optional), coarsely chopped

In a small ball, mix the stock with

the sherry, soy sauce, brown sugar, star

anise, garlic and the five spice powder.

Pat the roast dry with a paper towel.

Season with salt and pepper.

Heat the oil in a large enameled cast

iron casserole.

Add the pork and cook over moderate heat,

turning occasionally, until browned all

over, about 15 minutes.

Add the sauce mixture and bring pot to

a boil, scraping up any browned bits

on the bottom of the casserole.

Cover tightly and cook over low heat for

about 3 hours, turning the roast every

30 minutes (I found cooking for 4 hours

would be best for doing a pulled pork),

until very tender.

Remove the pork and boil the sauce until

it is reduced to 1 cup, about five minutes.

Pull the pork into long shreds (I use two

dinner forks pulling in opposite directions)

and return to the casserole.

Garnish with the cilantro and serve.
