Pickled pork may not be pleasing to the eye but the flavors that hit your taste buds with just one piece will eliminate any negative outlook or preconceived notions that you may have had about it. That's right: just one taste.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1 (4 or 5 lb.) boneless pork loin roast
  • 1 1/2 or 2 cups of water
  • 1 cup of cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 3 or 4 small dried hot chili peppers or 1 or 2 tbsp. crushed red peppers, or more if you like it hot
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt

    How to Cook Pickled Pork

  1. Step 1

    Place the 4 or 5 pound boneless pork loin roast into a deep bowl. Make sure the bowl is big enough and deep enough to accommodate more than 3 cups of liquid.

  2. Step 2

    Mix the water, vinegar, peppers, garlic and salt in a separate smaller bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Pour the marinade over the pork. Coat all sides evenly. Turning the pork a few times throughout the marinating process will ensure that the sauce covers all sides. I recommend turning the pork at least two times but ultimately it is your decision.

  4. Step 4

    Marinate the meat in the large bowl in the refrigerator overnight. Make sure that it is covered with a lid or saran wrap.

  5. Step 5

    On the following day, preheat the oven until it has reached 350 degrees. Take out your rack and a shallow roasting pan. Place the pork onto the rack and pour the marinade over the pork. Bake for about two hours until the meat is well done.

  6. Step 6

    Wait half an hour before slicing the pork. Hold the pork with some tongs and slice the roast from one end to the other in 1/2-inch-thick, circular pieces.

Tips & Warnings
  • Compliment your main dish with a colorful side dish of sweet potatoes and rolls.
