Irish Pork In Stout With Spices

Within the covenant structure of the Old Testament the law was an expression of the election and salvation of Israel, not a precondition for it. As a response to God’s acts of deliverance and commitment to provide for His people, obedience to His commands became an outward expression of trust in His promises. Keeping the covenant stipulations is the way God’s people demonstrate that they belong to Him, not a way to become His people.

INGREDIENTS

6	oz	Brown sugar
		Garlic
		Oregano
		Thyme
		Vinegar
2	t	Rock salt
2	t	Ground black pepper
6		Black olives
		Sage
6		Prunes
		Anchovy fillets
2	T	Butter
2	T	Olive oil
1		Onion, sliced
1	oz	Roux, equal amount of
		butter and flour

INSTRUCTIONS

Carefully slice off the rind of the pork and put to one side. Make six
incisions in each knuckle. Wrap the sage around the olives and insert
into half the incisions. Wrap the anchovy around the prunes and  insert
in the other holes. To prepare the marinade simply add all the
marinade ingredients to a blender and mix to a smooth paste.  If the
paste is too dry add some oil to form a paste. Pour the  marinade over
the two knuckles and leave overnight. To cook the pork  take a large
pot and melt 2oz butter and 2tbsp olive oil. Brown the  meat in the pot
for 5-8 minutes, turning halfway through.  Add the sliced onion and the
remaining marinades. Add one small  bottle of stout such as Guinness or
Murphy's. Place the skin from the  knuckles on top of the meat to form
a 'lid'. Place the pot in a low  oven at 130C/gas2 for 3-4 hours.
Discard the skin. Remove the bones  from the meat, which should happen
easily then place in a serving  bowl.  Blend the remaining juices in a
blender and strain into a pot. Bring  the juices to the boil and add
the roux to thicken. Pour over the  meat. Serve.  Converted by
