If you've been following me for any time at all you know that, where cooking is concerned, simple is not my priority. But all I can think about these days is finishing what I still have to do here, getting packed up and leaving the farm. I'm so busy that simple is getting a lot more important where dinner is concerned. Braising is a good "set it and forget it" way to produce a delicious dinner. You could do this recipe in a big crockpot to make it even easier! Don't need quite this much food? This one's easy to halve.
6 lb pork butt
1 gallon orange juice
6oz ginger – sliced
15 cloves of garlic
8oz soy sauce
2 cinnamon sticks
2pc star anise
1 gallon chicken stock
1lb brown sugar
2 white onions
6oz vegetable oil
Salt & pepper to taste
In a large sauce pan sear seasoned pork on all sides. Meanwhile, add remaining ingredients to a large pot and bring to a boil. Add pork and reduce to a simmer. Cook until pork is tender about 2 1/2 – 3 hours. Skim off the fat from the sauce. Slice Thinly.
Add a bag salad and some fruit and you've got a good, quick, healthy dinner!

This looks so good I can almost taste it from here. (Would you come cook at my house?)
