Recipe for "pork-braise-1"

NAME

     PORK-BRAISE-1 - Pork with lime and hot peppers
     This recipe was originally based on one I found in a  paper-
     back  cookbook.   Over the years I have adapted it into what
     you see here.  It  is  fairly  hot,  but  always  gets  rave
     reviews  from  everyone, even from people who normally don't
     like hot food.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 6-8)

     2 kg      pork, cut into small bite-size pieces
     1         onion, chopped
     30 ml     crushed red peppers
     4         garlic cloves, minced
     15 ml     lime juice
     175 ml    soy sauce
     40 g      brown sugar

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Fry pork, onion, red peppers, and garlic over high
               heat  in  a  heavy frying pan, stirring frequently
               for about 20 minutes or until well browned.
          (2)  Add lime juice, soy sauce, and brown sugar.
          (3)  Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes.
          (4)  Put in a covered dish and keep warm  in  the  oven
               while  you  make  the  rice to serve it over. This
               makes it easy to make the rice, and the pork actu-
               ally browns a little more during this time.

RATING

     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 15 minutes preparation, 40  minutes
     cooking.  Precision: no need to measure.
