How I Made Garlic Pork With a Fun Twist!

pork shoulder

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: pork loin

Chicken thighs are lower in fat and cheaper than pork shoulder.

vinegar

🥗Healthier: apple cider vinegar

💰Cheaper: white vinegar

Apple cider vinegar adds a fruity flavor while being healthier.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: tamari

💰Cheaper: coconut aminos

Tamari is gluten-free and has a similar flavor profile.

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: white sugar

Coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index.

Prep the seasoning by adding garlic to a food processor.

Add 1 rur pepper, 12 sprigs of thyme, and parsley to the food processor and chop until roughly combined.

Add the pork cut into small pieces (about an inch) to a mixing bowl.

Add the chopped seasoning mixture to the pork.

Add 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar to the pork and toss everything together until well coated.

Pack the seasoned pork into a sterilized glass jar.

Pour in a combination of dry white wine and red wine vinegar until the pork is completely covered.

Add 2 bay leaves to the jar and cover it.

Place the jar in the fridge and let it sit for at least 4 days.

After 4 days, drain the pork and pat dry to remove excess seasoning.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add a little oil.

Cook the pork until the liquid evaporates and it becomes golden brown and crispy.
