PORK BRAISED IN MILK

You will need to purchase a rolled loin of pork about 1.5 kg from your butcher .
If you are buying a rolled piece of pork , unwrap it and remove the rind and most of the fat .
Lay the pork out on your bench and spread 3 dsp of minced garlic over the loin
1 tsp  of coriander seeds
1 tsp of fennel seeds
1 sprig of fresh rosemary along with a pinch of salt .
Roll the loin up and tie with kitchen string .
Place the pork in a heavy based saucepan with a good lug of oil and brown the pork all over .
Remove from heat .
Set the pork aside and discard the rendered fat .
Return the pan to the heat and add 3 tbs of finely diced bacon , 1 finely diced onion an extra dsp of minced garlic , 1 tsp of coriander seeds, 1 tsp of fennel seeds , fry until soft in the residual fat left in the saucepan from the pork .
Place the bacon mixture in the bowl of your slow cooker , turn your slow cooker to high ,  add the pork and  1 litre of milk or enough milk to come halfway up the sides of the meat .
Bring the milk to the boil and then turn down to a simmer and leave covered and undisturbed for 2 hours .
After 2 hours check that the internal temp of the pork is at 78deg C .
Remove and set the pork aside loosely covered with foil in a warm place .
Pour the sauce back into the pan and continue to reduce it until it thickens and forms little nuggets of onion and bacon which you serve spooned over the sliced pork .
Serve alongside crispy roast potatoes , green beans with preserved lemon and garlic dressing .
