Directions
- Mix all the marinade ingredients, rub well into the pork and leave it in the fridge overnight, or possibly for a few hrs, or possibly cook it straight away. Put it in a deep casserole with the sauce ingredients and any remaining marinade. Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/gas2.
- Cover the casserole with a lid and cook for about 2 hrs in the lower half of the oven. Remove the lid and add in the rice ingredients.
- Stir in the rice, bring to the boil on top of the stove then put the casserole back in the oven for a further 45-60 min. Add in more liquid if necessary. The dish should be quite moist and sticky and won't spoil if left a little longer in the oven.
- Serve from the casserole.
