I mentioned before that hubby likes to buy bulk meat when it’s time for grocery shopping. Not that ‘grocery shopping’ exists in our household – but when the need arises we like to stock up on some meats for our freezer.
In particular he bought a big bulk pack of pork. I am not complaining, but to have about 5 kg worth of pork (in different cuts I might add) in your freezer can get a bit daunting at times. Finally with a lot of effort, I managed to use up all the pork and was left with a last bit of pork stew pieces.
This recipe of Braised Pork with Caramelized Onion is such a delicious meal for any occasion. It consists of beer braised pork cubes, smothered in tangy caramelized onions and served on a bed of basmati rice. Beer makes pork taste jummy!
I have to also admit that technically this recipe of Braised Pork with Caramelized Onion isn’t really my recipe since Hubby to the liberty of cooking on Sunday. It made my life much easier as our three year old boy thinks that his mum is the best thing since remote control cars. I had to literally do everything with him. It was a lovely late lunch and we enjoyed a lazy Sunday afternoon. Hope you enjoy!
