Indonesian Braised Pork

This is not for the faint of heart! We prefer to use homegrown dried chiles in place of the innocuous “crushed red peppers” which is probably what makes it so very hot.
Indonesian Braised Pork
serves 8
4 lb pork, cut into bite size pieces
1 onion, chopped
2 T crushed red peppers
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 T lime juice
2/3 c soy sauce
3 T brown sugar
Fry pork, onion, peppers and garlic over high heat until browned (about 20 minutes). Add lime juice, soy sauce and brown sugar. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. Transfer to a covered dish and put in warm oven for 30 minutes or until your side dish of choice is done. We usually have rice or lentils with this and sometimes make chapatis, too.
