Tips and Serving Suggestions

Oven Method:

Follow step 1.  Preheat the oven to 150°C, 130°C Fan, Gas Mark 2. Place the pork into a small to medium-sized, foil-lined roasting tin or ovenproof casserole dish. Season the joint all over. Pour the curry sauce with the chutney around the joint.  Cover tightly with extra foil, or the casserole lid and cook in the oven for about 5 hours or until tender.  Remove the joint from the oven and leave to rest, covered for 20 minutes.  Transfer the pork to a chopping board and `pull’ the cooked pork apart by securing with a fork and shredding the meat with a second fork, spoon over any remaining sauce and use as required.
