As you can see I've changed this week's "Midweek Meals" to "Weekend Meals." This recipe, while delicious, takes up a goodly amount of time and so after a long day, this isn't the quick meal to prepare for yourself. After acquiring "The Paley's Place Coobook," I was instantly drawn to this recipe and had to make it immediately. So that's what I did Sunday afternoon - all of Sunday afternoon.
After a hard week at work, I like to reward myself with a meal exactly like this one, hearty and unique. This recipe has become an absolute must - the pork shoulder is divine and the robust blend of cinnamon, ground fennel, allspice and ginger made this dish unlike anything I've ever tasted before. If fall could taste like something, it would taste like this dish.
