  3. 3
    Braising: Add a splash of water, cover tightly and cook over very low heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour. The pork should cook in its own juices.

Tips

Timut pepper added at the end of cooking gives an electrifying, citrusy fragrance. A slightly fatty cut (shoulder, belly) is ideal as the fat carries the aromas.
