- Garlic powder
- Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper
- 1 boneless pork butt (approximately 7 pounds)
- 50 fluid ounces coconut milk (recommended: Chaokoh)
Coconut Curry Sauce:
- 250 grams yellow curry paste (recommended: Mae Ploy)
- 5 tablespoons finely chopped ginger
- 5 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoon Chinese fermented black beans, rinsed and chopped
- 1/4 cup sesame oil
- 8 to 10 kaffir lime leaves
Rice:
- 1/4 bunch fresh cilantro
- 1/4 jalapeno pepper
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 cups basmati rice
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper
Salsa:
- 1 jalapeno pepper
- 1 poblano pepper
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
- 1 red onion
- 6 to 8 tomatoes
- 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
- 2 limes, juiced

- Corn tortillas, for serving
Directions
For the pork: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the spices into the pork and roast for about 8 hours. Let cool. Pull apart and discard any fat. Put the pork pieces in a large pot and add the coconut milk.
Meanwhile, for the curry sauce: Saute the curry paste, ginger, garlic, and black beans in sesame oil until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add this mixture to the pot with the pork and coconut milk. Add the lime leaves. Braise on low heat for 1 to 2 hours.
For the rice: Blend the cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, and 1 cup of water. Put this mixture in a pot on the stove. Add the basmati rice. Add 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, and then simmer, covered, until the rice absorbs the liquid, 20 to 25 minutes. When done, add the butter and salt and pepper, to taste.
For the salsa: Roast the jalapeno and poblano peppers, peel, and remove the seeds. Toast the cumin seeds and then grind. Dice the tomatoes and red onion and mix together in a bowl with the other salsa ingredients.
Heat the corn tortillas on a griddle. Plate the rice, put the pork with sauce on top, and finish with salsa and tortillas.

This was SO delicious and had tons of complex flavor. Everyone loved it - my husband, dad, and brothers. I literally wanted to lick the pan and kept sneaking bits as I put the leftovers away. I followed the recipe almost exactly - only used about 1/3 cup curry, and didn't have kaffir lime leaves - but it turned out great. The recipe calls for paprika on the rub, but in the video the chef uses chili powder... I used paprika, but will try it with chili powder next time (and lime leaves, of course. Also, go real easy on the salt in your rub. It made my curry a touch too salty. Overall, LOVED this recipe and will definitely make it again and again.

This was a great it had lots of flavor. I did use 4 cans of Chaokoh coconut milk so there was enough sauce for the rice. when I made the rice I did put 2 small slices of jalapeno pepper because I have kids that don't like things hot and he loved this. I also did not cook the pork for 8hrs I only cook it for 3hrs with foil on and 1/2 cup of water and that was just right.

The sauce was great, I think I might use it for chicken one time. Thanks for the recipe.
