Pork Curry
Report
This pork curry is the ultimate comfort dish. The recipe uses pork shoulder, slow-cooked in the oven until it's fall-apart tender. The sauce is rich, flavorful, and easy to throw together. Shoulder is perfect for long, slow cooking. The fat melts down, keeping the meat juicy and flavorful, and the oven does all the hard work. Pair it with some fluffy rice, maybe a bit of naan, and you've got a hearty meal perfect for any night of the week!
