Lemon Braised Pork

I had a bunch of lemons left from this detox that I did and was also craving some pork adobo. I figured, why not adobo with a twist?

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lb. pork butt, cut into 1 1/2" cubes

1/3 c lemon juice

lemon peel (half a lemon) cut into wedges

1/4 c mushroom flavored dark soy sauce

6 garlic cloves, pounded

2 bay leaves

1/8 t dried oregano

1/4 t peppercorns, cracked

1 T golden brown sugar

1/4 c water

1 t salt

5 hard boiled eggs, shelled

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a pan except eggs

marinate pork for about 15 minutes

Over medium heat, bring to a boil then simmer for 30 minutes, covered

Add hard boiled eggs, making sure eggs are covered with the sauce.

simmer for another 30 minutes, uncovered

Remove from heat & remove pork pieces. Set aside

Over medium high heat, brown pork pieces in a skillet (no oil needed)

Add the sauce & eggs to the meat. Mix well and serve
