Star Anise Pork

Serving Size : 6

1/2 cup chicken stock or canned low sodium broth 1/4 cup dry sherry 1/4 cup soy sauce 2 tbsp light brown sugar 2 star anise (or 1 tsp powdered), crushed 2 to 4 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 tsp Chinese five spice powder 3 lb boneless pork shoulder, tied salt and pepper 1 tbsp cilantro (optional), coarsely chopped

In a small ball, mix the stock with the sherry, soy sauce, brown sugar, star anise, garlic and the five spice powder.

Pat the roast dry with a paper towel.

Season with salt and pepper.

Heat the oil in a large enameled cast iron casserole.

Add the pork and cook over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until browned all over, about 15 minutes.

Add the sauce mixture and bring pot to a boil, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the casserole.

Cover tightly and cook over low heat for about 3 hours, turning the roast every 30 minutes (I found cooking for 4 hours would be best for doing a pulled pork), until very tender.

Remove the pork and boil the sauce until it is reduced to 1 cup, about five minutes.

Pull the pork into long shreds (I use two dinner forks pulling in opposite directions) and return to the casserole.

Garnish with the cilantro and serve.
