PRIZE-WINNING POLYNESIAN PORK OVER RICE
I recently inherited my Great Aunt's recipe collection. This is a recipe from her recipe box that she clipped out of the Chicago Tribune. It had won the "$5 Favorite Recipe prize." From the splatters on the clipping, I imagine my Aunt enjoyed this one. These days,I might try browning the meat in a little olive oil instead of the bacon drippings. Despite the name, I doubt this is a traditional Polynesian dish, but rather is one inspired by Polynesian cuisine.

- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your pork its flavor, so make sure to use a marinade that you like. The recipe in the article includes a marinade made with soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger.
- Cook the pork slowly: Pork shoulder and pork butt are both tough cuts of meat, so they need to be cooked slowly in order to become tender. The recipe in the article calls for cooking the pork in a slow cooker for 8 hours.
- Serve the pork with rice: Rice is a classic side dish for pork, and it's also a great way to soak up the delicious juices from the pork. The recipe in the article includes a recipe for coconut rice, which is a flavorful and easy-to-make side dish.
