I tried pickled pork this week, and I must admit, I was skeptical about a recipe with just pork and water. I found the slow simmering process surprisingly therapeutic after a long day of work and school runs. I was delighted to discover that the pork became incredibly tender and infused with a subtle, tangy flavor from the pickling process. The texture was far from the dry, overcooked pork I feared. This dish is perfect for the weeknight cook who wants to make the most of a simple ingredient. The pickled pork is a great addition to a roast dinner, or it can be served with boiled poultry for a comforting, old-fashioned meal. My kids loved it, and I appreciated that it was ready in just over an hour with minimal effort. Next time, I'll serve it with some creamy mashed potatoes to soak up the flavorful broth.
