Slow Roasted Asian Spiced Pork

Thank God for the breeders of good pigs! When experts who really know what they are doing produce livestock by rearing animals in humane and excellent conditions, you get meat which tastes amazing. 

The ensuing meal was succulent and full of flavour; I did very little, introduced some exotic spices and a long, slow roast.  It was that  easy......
