What if I told you that you could make a dish that would wow your guests with less effort than it takes to order-in? What if I told you that you don’t need a huge arsenal of cooking skills or prior knowledge to turn out a perfect meal each and every time? What if I told you that all of this can be done with just five or six ingredients that can be found in any big-scary-mega-mart anywhere in the country, for somewhere around $10.00, depending on the price of pork in your area?
It’s all true, every word of it. With just a few minutes of prep time and a few lazy hours spent doing… Well, whatever it is that you’d like to do… You can produce something so sinfully delicious and decadent that everyone who tries it will think you’ve slaved your day away working on the perfect meal. And I’m going to tell you how to do it.
Hey, I won’t tell anyone it was easy. That will be our little secret, O.K?

What I would have done differently had I thought of it at the time:
I’ve actually made this dish twice in the past few weeks. The first time just to give it a try, the second time so that I could post it here as my entry for Frugal Fridays #13. Both times I used the same method, and I’m thrilled with it.
Having said that, this recipe is versatile and can be made with anything else you would like to put in the pouch with the pork. Try some pineapple slices, onions, garlic or fresh herbs to change it up a bit if that’s what you’d like. Be creative, make it your own!
