Sri-Lankan Pork

So easy and so good too!

Sri Lankan recipes aren’t usually baked. They are cooked on the hob or over fire. This easy baked Sri Lankan pork recipe is one I tried last year at a BBQ in Sri Lanka. I loved it! the chargrilled pork had been marinated for two days and was absolutely delicious.

I’m currently writing a series of quick and easy recipes that can be made without much effort after work. With this recipe, I have used the same marinade recipe as the one I tried in Sri Lanka but baked it instead. It tasted completely different because of the cooking method but was equally as delicious.

You can make the marinade a day early and let the meat marinate in the same pan you bake it in. All you have to do then is place it in your pre-heated oven for an hour and dinner is served.

Although I love this version of Sri Lanka pork, I love it even more done on the BBQ. So if you feel the urge to get outside and cook, I highly recommend it with this one.

Pounding the meat with a meat mallet tenderises the meat and is better for marinating.
