Ingredients

Dry Rub and Pork:

  • Spicy paprika
  • 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
  • Salt and pepper
  • 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.

    this was great, we brought it to a4th of July party everyone loved it and asked for the recipe. cooked mine in the oven over night at 250 for 9 hours, came out perfect.The only change I made was I used only one jar of curry. The sauce was great, I think I might use it for chicken one time. Thanks for the recipe.
