Method

  1. Place the pork in a bowl. Mix 1 tablespoon vinegar with a little water and pour over. Toss to coat.
  2. Place the remaining vinegar in a bowl with the onion, cumin, mustard seeds, garlic, ginger, cloves and cinnamon. Mix well to form a smooth paste and pour over the pork to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and leave to marinate in the fridge for 6-8 hours or overnight if time permits.
  3. Spray a saucepan with low calorie cooking spray and place over a high heat. To the pan, add 200ml of water, the pork mixture, tomatoes and sweetner and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low, season well, cover tightly and simmer gently for about an hour or until the pork is tender.
  4. Remove from the heat and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving with freshly chopped coriander scattered over.
