Crispy Pork Bits With Jerk Seasonings
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder trimmed of excess fat and cut into large chunks (you can use a smaller size pieces for a crispier finish)
- 5 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
- 1 dried chipotle or other chile
- 1 cinnamon stick
- Several gratings of nutmeg
- Salt
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 limes, cut into wedges
- 1. Put the pork in a deep skillet or wide saucepan; wrap the garlic, coriander, chile and cinnamon in a piece of cheese cloth and add to the pan, along with the nutmeg and salt to taste. Add water to cover and bring to a boil over high heat. turn the heat to low and simmer until the pork is very tender, about 1 1/4 hours, adding water as necessary.
- 2. When the pork is soft, remove the cheesecloth sack and discard. Raise the heat to medium-high and boil off all the liquid.
- 3. If you choose not to grill, you can now brown the pork in its own remaining fat. Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges. Or thread the pork on 8 skewers and, when you're ready to eat, grill them lightly on all side to brown before arnishing and serving.
